Confirmed with Link: Kaapo Kakko signs entry level contract

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Nice. And on 7-11, how convenient!

He signed today to commemorate the Nets signing KD and Kyrie.

 

[Crease]

I think it will be an awesome position to be Kakko and Kravtsov. You play well, you get to play with Panarin and Zibanejad. Hopefully those kids embrace this "race".

You can count on one hand the number of players younger than Kravtsov who are better than him. This will light a fire under Kravtsov (as if he needed one).

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

Being an irresponsible millennial, I did the reverse.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

FYI: The team can choose to have the PB hits count against the cap next season if they don't have the cap space

I live in Inwood, and I freaking love it up there. Have a few ranger fans on my block !

 

[Leetch3]

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

never use that again...thats just evil

 

[Kovalev27]

never use that again...thats just evil

Hopefully this one goes better lol

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Heard he took less to play here. Islanders offered more

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

It's still difficult to believe that we were finally in position to draft a talent like this.

Luckily he fell to the 22nd Overall when we didn't want to build a #LosingCulture

 

[Mr Rogers]

Can’t wait to watch him next season; definitely gonna try my best to catch a lot Rangers games.

 

[Machinehead]

Three years is a lot for a guy with no games played.

Huge gamble.

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

So the Rangers can exceed the cap due to performance bonuses by 7.5% of the upper limit ($6,112,500). For any of the bonuses that are hit and exceed the cap, would that money count towards the following season's cap?

It's been so long since we've had this issue I don't even remember how it goes.

yes if the exceed the cap and need to carry over the bonus toward next year that $$ would act as 'dead' cap space next year

Whatm has it been that long since Shanahan's $2M 10 GP bonus?

 

[Leetch3]

capfriendly has updated his contract info and now when you look at the rangers page, kakko is marked with the expected icons for ELC, slide eligible, performance bonuses and waiver exempt...but there is one i've never seen been "Player is exempt from the 50 stanard player limit" ?? anyone know what thats about?

ok i'm assuming its cause its slide eligible so it doesn't count until he plays 11 games...but never seen that icon before

 

[Leetch3]

so i was wondering why kakko's bonus was $2.65 mil instead of the max $2.85 mil. rangers certainly wouldn't care about 200k more...and then noticed this.

going back to 2013, every 1st overall pick has gotten $2.85 mil. every 2nd overall pick has gotten $2.65 mil with the exception of Jack Eichel who got $2.85 mil

Have you hiked up to the cave yet?

 

[Rongomania]

Have you hiked up to the cave yet?

It's so vast up here, the caves, the hidden beach. Bittersweet that it's so historically rich, yet absolutely awful because I believe this is the point of sale of the isle of Manhattan from the natives to the Dutch.. Ugh.

I’m assuming it means he won’t count against the 50 if he doesn’t play in the NHL. As we learned with Duclair, it’s possible to be exempt from the 50 if you don’t play in the NHL even if you’re not eligible for a slide, so that’s likely why there’s two different icons.

wow, those bonuses seem fair. I just have no clue where we are getting all this cap space from. Especially if Kravtsov signs a similar deal.

 

[aufheben]

LOL I swear to God man that is the absolute worst number possible. Just look at the last few Ranger to wear it. They knew.

Cap hits based on performance bonuses can carry over if the team doesn't have the cap space at the end of the season

That is the new Peter Forsberg if you can Dream ,can't wait for the home opener against Winnipeg
