I’m right there with you. I’ve never been as confident in his ability to be an elite player as I was in the stretch before he had to sit out. Fingers crossed in a big way that he is able to pick up where he left off.

100% I don't get how anyone can watch Kakko this year and be disappointed in his play
Not disappointed but can't lie if he ends up with 10-15 points I will be. It's clear this year he looks more conditioned, stronger and better in both zones.
Considering how short the season is, he might end up around that number. I'm not worried though. He clearly worked hard on his biggest flaws last off-season, this off-season he should work on his shot more.

Even if he gets off the list today I doubt hed play today considering he hasn't practiced in almost 2 weeks

So off the list but not on the lineup yet, as was expected.
Daily Faceoff still has him as day to day, while Chytil is listed as a game time decision... so I guess he's still out.

Chytil is in. Kakko is not playing because he has not skated for over a week. Pretty sure Kakko is playing in the next game.

Makes sense.
I wonder if it is allowed for a player to skate on his own at some undisclosed rink while he waits, especially if they arent exhibiting symptoms or if it's based on tracing or a false positive.
Will be good to have Chytil back at least.
Not having Kakko is so frustrating because he is healthy and is being prevented from playing, but even more so because you dont want him to lose the momentum he has built for himself.

I doubt he has skated, but stayed isolated in his flat so no point in rushing him to the lineup without a single practice.

To be fair, I don't think him being a type-1 diabetic really puts him at a higher risk. It's the type-2 guys who are more in danger.

That's the understanding I've got from Finnish newspapers. Type-2 guys usually have other stuff going on that is putting the in danger, obesity etc.
Not trying to downplay anything here.
Hopefully he's back against NJ tomorrow.

I don't know what to think. It's good that they are cautious with this stuff, but if he didn't have any serious symptoms he should be good to go after few skates to get his legs going. Why would he not be playing tonight? Many teams who have been on a pause because of covid have basically had one training and then straight to playing. New Jersey freaking beat us in that situation.
Frustrating.
probably a coaches decision. Just like he did with Chytil waiting until Tuesday to play him.

If it is DQ doing that decision, that's just bad coaching. The offense needs all the help they can get. Get him to the lineup if he is good to go FFS. Kakko at 75% is still better than our 4th line wingers playing 100%.

I doubt it, since he is training with normally with the rest of the guys. He was on the ice today in a regular jersey.

Are we tanking or not? Why is this team so ok with its best players not playing?
