Besides all the other issues, he just isn't reading plays quickly enough, not seeing the plays in his mind's eye and anticipating. He's always half a step behind, even with preseason speed.
The good news IIRC, Laf was a bit slow last preseason too. And a bit slow the first half of October. Trying to be optimistic. Still some time to improve.Besides all the other issues, he just isn't reading plays quickly enough, not seeing the plays in his mind's eye and anticipating.

And that's ok for this year at his caphit. If he scores like 30 points playing a 3rd line role for 2.4M, that's still pretty good value. Not even talking about what he does possession wise for the line he plays with.Was at a brewery tonight, and talking about Kakko with one of the bartenders. Basically, Kakko is not a bust, he is what he is, a 3rd liner two way player.
That's just... not going to happen. Nor should it.Really looking like Kakko is going to be the odd man out unless he has a monster first 10 games. Othmann looks good and deserves a shot.
