Confirmed with Link: Kaapo Kakko signs entry level contract

[Krams]

Officially the start of a new era.

 

[will1066]

Generation K signed and sealed. These two kids Kakko and Kravtsov are going to be stars in this league. It’s never happened in my lifetime having two stud forward prospects like this coming in at 18 19 years old can’t wait for this next run here

You jinxed it. I hope this Generation K works out better than the Mets' Generation K.

 

[will1066]

Announce his jersey number so we can all spend our money!!!

His bonuses will be funded by jersey sales.

With that kinda bonus, he’ll be able to get a 400 sq ft studio in Washington Heights

Everybody lives in Washington Heights when they first start out, before they end up somewhere on Park Ave., UES, or UWS.

That would be a hefty cap hit!

The up to $2 million in Type B bonuses are very tough to hit. Up to $212,500 for Calder voting and then the rest are stuff like:

• Top-five finish in Hart, Selke, or Rocket Richard voting
• Top-three finish in Lady Byng voting
• Conn Smythe win
• Being named to the NHL’s first or second All-Star team
• Finishing top ten in the league in goals, assists, points or points per game

All star probably... can’t imagine who else we would send.

All star probably... can’t imagine who else we would send.

Panarin, probably. But that's not the All-Star team for the All-Star game, that's the NHL's first and second All-Star team that they announce at the end of the season, only 12 players total make either and they don't need representatives from every NHL team.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Finally some news! I hope there are some more interviews too.

I think it will really hit me on season opening day.

CapFriendly listed Kaapo Kakko jersey #45
Is that a placeholder? Or will that number stick?

It doesn't say the All Star game. But if it did Mika would go likely before him.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

He looks a little like a young Jan Michael Vincent.

Yes, random.

They photoshopped the hell out of his face to get rid of the acne. The guy doesn't even look like himself in that big picture.

Essentially the best and second best in the whole league at each position.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Very nice

Can’t wait to see Detroit play the rangers after rebuilds for both

Yup.

If Kakko unlocks that bonus, we're golden.

 

[Thirty One]

Yup.

If Kakko unlocks that bonus, we're golden.

If he gets that bonus, I'LL PAY for the ink the Rangers use to sign that bonus cheque.

 

[Bluenote13]

Nice. And on 7-11, how convenient!

If hes as competitive as they say, Kakko is probably looking at that list thinking "I can do all that"

umm excuse me how could you forget Brendl and Lundmark?

 

[ElLeetch]

umm excuse me how could you forget Brendl and Lundmark?

we had Brendl, Lundmark, *and* Malhotra taken just the year prior. We all thought our future was set.

 

[haohmaru]

Who says you can't have your Kakko and eat it, too?

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Allahu Kakkbar

I lold

This is the kind of quality I’m here for
