He and Chytil will have better chemistry. Didn’t like the line with no one that can really bring the puck up the ice.

Kreider — Chytil — Kakko is going to be crazy good. To bad we haven’t seen it yet lool

Yeah Kaapo needs someone who can skate the puck through neutral zone. If his line gets stuck in the defensive zone he won't get much done. Maybe in some years he'll develop in that area but right now that's not what he does.

Two teenager rookies on the same line is a no no anyways.

I didn't like how Howden looked at all between two skill-players. Don't wanna read much into one pre-season game, but that's what I got.

Worst comes to worst, kid tops out as a nice 4C. I'll take that, a super heady, young & strong 4C going forward. While Lias and Chytil figure out 2 & 3C.

Looking gravy no matter what. Unless 2/3 of 'em blow it of course.

But, growing pains.

Easy there bud. There is demand on this market, but you're flooding it with too much supply.

Also you have potentially 20 years of Kakko to come up with these. Be more economic about it ;)

lol I just bring it as they pop into mind. Need to be thinking about other things then.
 
The Rangers, rather suddenly, have a lot more mouths to feed on the wings with the additions of Panarin and Kakko. The problem all season will be that they only have 1 dynamic center on the roster. I assume Kakko will be good enough to carry a line by himself in due time, but I don't expect it to be when he's 18 years old.

There could develop a narrative that he's a bit of a PP specialist by fans from other fanbases at first due to him playing down the lineup and finding his way at the same time but he's propably gonna shine on the 1st PP on the right wall as we saw in the pre-season right away. It's hard to say tho, pre-season is pre-season and guys have their own way of going about it, Kakko is the kind of guy to be pretty laid back in games like this, or has been atleast. Once the lines settle down a bit and he can find his rhytm with his linemates, I expect him to look much better because he usually likes to try to adapt to his teammates alot and once he finds his comfort zone he's gonna be more bold with his plays.

Agreed, and it’s kind of discouraging what Quinn is doing.. The kid is 18 years old, he needs to do a better job at having the lines build chemistry instead of flip, flopping everyone. Kaapo looks great in his first game. Then he plays him with Kravstov a 19 year old, who obviously just like Kaapo never played in the NHL, and Howden? Like come on it’s not rocket science.. Then he has Strome center him?

Obviously there’s no rush for Kaapo to play major minutes, and expect him to dominate right out the gate. But Quinn needs to do a better job at giving him a better shot at succeeding. You see his ability on the PP how dominate he is when he has the puck in the offensive zone..

Asides from Panarin and Mika, I think the next best plan would be for Chytil to play center and grow into that position. Because his ability to skate the puck into neutral zone like you said he needs, is impressive so I think why not give it a shot? Plus both of them are guys that’s hard to knock off the puck plus another big body like Kreider?

Quinn needs to understand that this team isn’t expecting to contend, and they’re crazy young that these players will struggle. So let Chytil go through growing pains to learn the center position because once he’s capable of doing so, Chytil-Kakko will be a great for 8+ years.

I think that he understands that pretty well and is trying to put the young kids into a position of success. That includes finding out where they belong in an NHL line up.

It's only a matter of time till McJesus asks out of the Oil Fire. And guess who has the dearth of prospects to ante up?

(Then I woke up.)

First of all, even if he asks out, the Oilers are not in any need to oblige him.

Second of all, even if they do, it would take a king's ransom to get him. The list STARTS with Kakko, then just keep on adding high level prospects and multiple 1st round picks. How does Kakko, Miller, Kravstov, Buch and a few first round picks sound?

Third of all, cap space....cap space.....cap space

Fourth of all, dearth means a inadequate supply or scarcity. I presume you mean the opposite.

Zbad is probably on that list instead of a few firsts. This is a generational talent we're talking about here....

For McDavid, I'm offering, Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, $15 million in cash, and our first-round draft picks in 1989, 1991 and 1993.
