Player Discussion Kaapo Kakko

[LionsHeart]

Looked completely checked out tonight.

Good 5v5 defensive players do not always make good PK guys. The concepts are quite different. Sometimes worse 5v5 defensive guys do better due to different reads, speed etc…

I saw someone mention Peter Bondra as an example, but there are quite a few. Terrific on PK. Lousy 5v5 defensively.

True bit of you don’t give the kid a shot you’ll never know. He’s a good positional player so I think he might be pretty good at it.

Anything is possible, but we are on a 3rd NHL coach who doesn’t seem to think it’s a good fit.

Kakko had fewest EV TOI yesterday. Why s he the whipping boy

10:14 of ice time vs the Predators. I bet he is gone before the holiday trade freeze that comes up soon.

I’d bet a kidney that Kaako’s first game against the Rangers he scores. And I wouldn’t begrudge him doing a celly right in front of our bench.
