Player Discussion Kaapo Kakko

[CLW]

He had the goalie beat on a breakaway needs to put that one home

Yeah he tried the Kreider special which is fair enough.

 

[Vitto79]

He’s gonna need to pop a few please and thanks

 

[will1066]

The only thing to do now is compare whether Kakko missed his breakaway by a wider margin than Laf.

Understatement of a lifetime. Completely nonexistent. In fact, he’s taken a step back since Laviolette arrival.
Massive disappointment I would ship his ass out of here the first deal that comes along.

 

[ThirdEye]

Wasn't there a similar article also during the early part of last season where Kakko said almost the same thing verbatim? Just seems like when the games start to matter he starts overthinking everything and his confidence goes down the toilet. Half the time when he gets the puck it doesn't even look like he wants it. Frustrating

 

[CasusBelli]

Appreciate his dedication and how seriously he’s taking this, but he’s getting in his head. Might just need a change of scenery at this point.

Should we ship out Mika and Kreider as well while we are at it? Or frankly, everyone outside of Panarin, because no one else is scoring 5v5.

What good would shipping him out do for the team? What value do you think he would fetch, that could be replaced on the ice for the caphit he provides?

 

[will1066]

He is definitely in his own head. Kreider knows something about that and can maybe help him escape.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I question whether he has the mental fortitude to be an impact player at this level. In some cases that is even more important than physical ability.

KK does need to step it up. What I was happy about is he knows a top line spot isn't given forever. He realizes that playing well is a requirment to keep that spot.

passive kakko only just passive. next thing only thing jogging rounds around Manhattan and i mean this thing like military service punishmenent self torture officer and gentleman rocky balboua please. 14 min in game nothing. needet angry mode. monster atletics but not built up.

Where did I say that the NYR should trade him? I mentioned what would be best for him — not a word about what’a best for NYR.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Only thing he's breaking out is in zits!

Taper expectations.

65 GP - 5 G, 4 A, 9P

Called it!

I would actually say the mental piece is not only more important than the physical, but VASTLY more important. It is literally everything. Not just in hockey either, in life.

Can you call something that's positive for once? Lol

I think the kid is moved at the TDL

Wouldn't be surprised. Cuylle looks light years better than him. That's a big problem with the difference in draft pedigree.

We'll get back a 1st for him!

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I'd be concerned, but i'm not.

What the f*** have Mika and Kreider done at ES this season? I'm FAR more concerned with their play at ES. The whole line has been pretty bad at ES but when i'm looking to blame players, I'll go to the "leaders" first. Seems like they at just content at floating around at ES and waiting for the PP to come around to pad their stats.

Kreider - 2 ES goals (one tonight)
Kakko - 1 ES goal
Mika - 1 ES goal

You should be. Kakko has done nothing, nada, zilch. Kreider has 8 goals in 11 games and IDGAF if most are on the PP. He produces and is the best net front player in the game. Mika always starts slow but will get his 85-90 points when the season is done. Kakko needs to be better or he is going to get traded.

I care about ES. We aren't going anywhere in the playoffs if Mika and Kreider don't want to do anything at ES. Not sure what you think Kakko is going to do at ES if his linemates don't do anything, he's not McDavid.
