Prospect Info: Kaapo Kakko, RW, 1st round, 2nd overall, 2019

[Anzi]

Hmm, seems like JD and Gorton see Kakko possibly playing some center down the line? Not sure what the context of their statements were.

 

[BenedictGomez]

or maybe he was worried he would not go top 2.

Not a chance.

Literally every professional scout said there was a chasm between Hughes/Kakko and whoevergoesnumberthree.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I've been up for 29 hours now. And I'm so happy

 

[Machinehead]

The dream has come true. This September we get to hear Sam Rosen say Kaapo Kakko.

Is Chytil done with Center position? He is now RW?

You'll get tired of that soon, it will be long and drawn out, like......... Kaahhhhh-pOe Kaahhh-kO.

 

[Stasis]

I posted a long time back that I believed we'd try Kakko at center if we couldn't get another soon.

We'll see what we can do next year, or via trade, but it's definitely our weakest position this season otherwise and I'd be shocked if they didn't at least give it a go.

That sounds like 42 angels orgasmoaning in my ear, thanks.

Kaapo Kakko looked PISSED off majorly that he went #2.

He clearly wanted to go #1 and was buying-into that last minute hype that maybe he was going to be the #1 pick, to the point his eyes got a little wet. Have to admit, I do like the competitive fire going on there, guess the EU scouts 10/10 on competitiveness is correct.

Don't worry, once he realizes the pothole he dodged his eyes will tear up all over again

 

[Chaels Arms]

No one is disappointed we got Jonathan Huberdeau at 2 and Montreal got Lionel Messi at 15?

 

[Filip Chytil]

Gonna change my first name to Kaapo in honor of Lord Kakko

 

[Nickmo82]

Huzzah!

Hughes had a very forced smile on when talking about being a Devil... While the idea of bein a part of an original six team was quite intriguing to him apparently. You should hope he doesn't go to college for 4 years only to be then traded to Rangers Fox-style

Ivan Drago was Russian and Dolph Lundgren is Swedish.

KK is also a playmaking winger not a fighter.

I don't get the meme.

You have the same mind reading TV as some of our mensa-Ranger posters.

 

[Muuri]

What kinda production would you guys expect from him next season?

Im thinking around 65-70 points and a Calder nomination.

I'd take Huberdeau over Messi any day. Messi can't skate for shit.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I can't. This can't be real.

The clergy page. Oh my Kakko.

I am a clergy member, so if you know anyone who's getting hitched I'm available to do the service and my rates are reasonable.

Who better to draft a soccer player than Montreal?

 

[Mestaruus]

I'll definitely watch a good bunch of Rangers games next season. I think a lot of Finnish fans will hop on the Rangers train with Kakko being there.

Can't wait for Kakko to develop a New York accent by the way. That would be something.

Kakko is very happy to be in the better organization I think.

55-68 points.

First game is against Winnipeg @MSG?

I hope the Finns take collective responsibility in policing your version of Webster.

The comps last night were so ridiculous.
