Player Discussion Kaapo Kakko

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

If Kakko's game against the Canadiens was his only game this season, he would be 2nd on the Islanders in points.

Always thought he just had celiac disease not type 1 as well. Maybe i missed that. Either way hes off to a good start.

It was well known he was both.

If you look at the player stats, you couldn't ask for a better production distribution from the forwards.

That 3rd line is clicking and notice how there is only 1 defenseman in the top 10, as it should be. In years past the top 10 was filled with a few D like Miller & Trouba with and a surprise depth forward but 3rd liners like Kakko way down and not just trickling in with 1 or 2 points.

Its great to see Reilly Smith up there as well. Thats a huge pickup and its working out.

It’s still very early in the season, so let’s see how things play out. This is a great start and is far more sustainable than just relying on great special teams and goaltending the way we have the past few years.

looking at just production over such a small sample size is dubious. the team, and kakko, looks great though.
