Where can you already find odds for this?

Edit. I saw Nordicbet is already offering this bet. The odds are not even though. The actual line according to their odds is probably around 57.5.

By the way are the odds for like/against?

That is pretty high expectation for any rookie. Still considering Hischier's 52 points and Kotkaniemi scoring 32, it definitely doesn't sound like out of realms considering he's far superior prospect than neither (not to mention more ready to play NHL at the same age). It'll come down to opportunities. I doubt they're placing him in the top line straight away so patience will be virtue. Yet the further in they get, the more trust should be received and who knows where that may lead. I would say he had a chance to break ppg in FEL had they not preferred the veterans over him in the 1st PP unit in the early season, but then again impossible to tell. Somethings it comes down to the "smallest" things,

Not sure if there's anything more I'm waiting as of this moment (outside a few things in IRL) than just seeing Kakko's opening game.
:popcorn:(heck maybe I even buy some of these)
 
The dual-threat nature of Kakko’s attacking ability allows Kakko to be one of the most versatile power play menaces I saw all season. Between various levels of competition this season, Kakko played on the right circle, the left circle, the right goal line, net-front, the middle-man in a 1-3-1, and I’m sure he could run the power play from the point just fine. That’s a lot of positions. And he excelled in all of them.

However, I think Kakko’s likely home is on the right side, probably as a particularly active passing and shooting threat. He prods the penalty kill, moving downwards the see how the defenders react, then circling back and trying again with a plan. He bounces between the threat of a shot to pass and vice-versa, moving the sticks and bodies of penalty killers out of his desired lane.

Over/under is 60 pts! That's incredible. I'd be happy with that. 60 pts on this team usually leads in scoring. Won't this year with Panarin, but for a rookie this estimate is great.

Thrilled about tomorrows game vs njd! Apperantly they are putting Kakko and Panaring together on the top line. Man I really hope Kakko beings hes A game and earn a permanent role alongside Panarin.

Saw that in his lone Traverse City game. Walked off the half-wall down the boards to find a lane.


I assume the Rangers will run their PP through him on the right half-wall like Kane and Chicago and Kucherov and Tampa. Zibanejad will be on the other wall as the primary shooting threat.

Dont forget about Panarin, lol. though if you really wanted to load up you could throw him and Fox out at the points. Panarin has a lot of PP points playing at the top of the zone. He and Zib both have bombs from the left circle, but prob a good idea to keep them both out there on the same unit especially considering theyll be on the same forward line.

Good point. I believe Panarin primarily slotted in the Ovi-office spot on the PP too. So it will be interesting to see how that's handled. I'm not sure who's a more lethal shooter between the two of them (learning toward Panarin esp with one-timers) but Panarin can definitely thread the needle better so you'd think he might be more valuable on the wall where he should get more touches and opportunities to handle the puck.

Zib could maybe slot in as the bumper/high slot guy like Partice Bergeron, Mark Schiefele and Brayden Point do on their respective PPs.
