Player Discussion Kaapo Kakko

[Whoot Whoot]

That looked gross LTIR for sure

 

[Draft Guru]

Knee injury did not look good at all. That's gonna be long term. Poor kid couldn't catch a break this season. Chytil was close to returning too, was looking forward to the new kid line with Cuylle.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Watch him be back next week

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Ugh. Went from bad to worse.

Hope it’s not longterm. Despite his offensive ineptitude this year he does a lot within the system well and doesn’t hurt the team.

Curse of Ramsay strikes again. They’ll bring up Brodz probably

 

[Hire Sather]

Been due for injuries for years. Absurd how lucky we've been

 

[DanielBrassard]

That injury looked horrible, hope he recovers quick. In the meantime if he’s on LTIR I wonder if that changes things with a certain player.

 

[Peltz]

That looked gross LTIR for sure

Ugh what happened? Missed the game

 

[NickyFotiu]

I have no idea how bad it is. None of us do for sure. We all should be rooting for him though. Hope it isn't bad. He is a young kid and a Ranger.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

If its the knee his season is done.

If it's an ankle? We'll see him again this year.

 

[2014nyr]

tough to watch. feel awful for the kid.

glass half full...not like there's any speed he can lose.

 

[will1066]

Ugh what happened? Missed the game

Got bodied during a puck battle and fell awkwardly. Knee and ankle not supposed to move in those directions

 

[bleedblue94]

The only plus from this is that through the process of healing nyr will be able to send him to the AHL for a stint prior to playing in the NHL again without a bunch of crazy negative attention. This kid would get a chance to build some offensive confidence without the scrutiny. Sucks for him though in general but might be a career reset for him.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Crazy how karma gets us. Ramsey gets the boot and we have our worst season of injuries in years.

That’s a pretty shitty plus. If that happens it will be more so he can rebuild is strength/endurance again so i doubt it will be a walk in the park where he dominates down there.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Hoping for only a sprain but didn't look very pretty. Probably extra frustration in the pain that this isn't how he wanted this season to go personally.

Slight liver lining is if he can come back this year it might be a needed reset.

Pull the old Hawks/Lightning/Knights trick... Kakko to LTIR, sign Kane, Kakko back for game 1 of the playoffs. Cup is ours.

Hawks : Kane
Lightning : Kucherov
Vegas : Stone

Rangers : ....Kakko

It would be so Rangers to utilize this legal cap circumvention strat to add a bum hip aging winger, and then re-add a $2.1M complete non-factor of a player back to their lineup for the playoffs. That would be their version of this strat for sure.

Only problem is Kane sucks on ice.

[Blasds]

I am sure that everything will be fine without Kakko and the team will play even better than with him.

Gross.

Agreed. First send him to Hartford for a few Games for conditioning.

 

[McRanger92]

That injury looked Sammy Blais-esque

 

[Synergy27]

Injury didn’t look that bad to me. Looked more like a hyperextension than a multiple ligament tear. He was in a lot of pain though and was putting no weight on it at all so I very well could be wrong.

Sucks all around though. This kid can’t afford to lose any mobility.
