[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

This is a thread wherein we discuss how awesome it is we were able to draft him rather than batting silly suggestions for nicknames back and forth.

i was moderately pleased

 

[Irishguy42]

Wow, it's a nice prospect.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Hopefully that other thread is closed now. Hockey's almost back, enough with the baby threads.

This 15 minute highlight reel was posted in another thread, I cant find it now so i'm sorry cant give the poster credit but WOW...this is just 15 minutes of highlights from last season in the Liiga, all his goals and assists. He's literally a highlight real machine.




Lets go October, hurry up!

 

[Bob Richards]

Score a goal already

 

[LeetchisGod]

I laugh maniacally every time I think about us drafting him.

 

[Rangers in 7]

so what are we going to call him

 

[UnderPSI]

Hat trick on opening night or he's a bust.

Not that we didn’t already know, but this is truly an impressive highlight package that shows so much of this kids game. Incredible puck control, amazing hockey sense, strong as a bull, sick hands in tight, great shot, good speed. Kaako is probably the realest deal we’ll ever have. I can’t foresee any future in which he isn’t up there in the top tier of young stars in this league quite soon. He’s just the complete package.

What I like most about this kid, is his confidence. Sitting behind the bench at the World Championships and Euro Hockey Tour, the way he was talking to seasoned pros like Marko Anttila, was interesting.

Do we have a number yet??

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I hope he sticks with 45.

 

[will1066]

He's going to be a physical force.

Fans at the Garden should hang Ks everytime he scores.

 

[LokiDog]

I’m really hoping Boo gives up 24. It’s my favorite number and wasted on Nieves. I switched to 74 in college because 24 was taken and I’m excited that Kravstov will likely wear it.

It's a pretty lofty goal to live up to but I concur.

 

[SA16]

Hello, SA16 is here.

Wow it should be nice to watch Kakko develop as one of the Rangers.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I hope he sticks with 45.

Yikes i hope not.

I’m almost 100% it will be 24. No way Boo doesnt give it up...if he’s even on the roster.

What's wrong with no 45?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

What's wrong with no 45?

Just not a fan. 24 looks sexy on him haha. I mean if he does take 45 it will take me all of 1 shift to love that too though

I could tell you...

But we're not allowed to discuss politics on this board.

I hope he changes it to 44 in tribute to Pär Djoos.

I don't get it. Something that happened in 1945 or something? 45 has nothing to do with politics to me. It's the number he was given by the Rangers. He has used 10 different numbers in the last 3 years. No 24 isn't really "his number"

Well, just so you know, it's a common practice in the US to refer to a certain officeholder by which number (s)he is to hold said office...

I guess but 90% of those games hes was 24
