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

 

[RangersFan1994]

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.

Regardless of what my username is, i'll be rooting for him when he plays us to score 3 and celebrate however he wants. Trading cost effective young highly drafted players while tanking would be something.

I would love it if he gave the finger to Lav right after

Kaapo is what he is. A player should be judged compared to his own standard. He is not the problem of this team. Scratching him is a POS move imo.

 

[markymarc1215]

Kakko has never endeared himself to the core, evidenced by the fact they were all vocal about not wanting him on their line, and I think that alone has repercussions on his self-esteem and on-ice responsibility. Laf and most other kids, on the other hand, have endeared themselves to the core.

 

[offdacrossbar]

He's gone !

 

[n8]

What a terrible return.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

He must be ecstatic to be out of here. Gonna miss this dude

 

[Boom Quack]

Good luck Kakko. I remember going bananas when it was announced we would get the 2OA pick. I almost pulled the plug and got your jersey too.

The most exciting moment of Kakko's Ranger tenure was winning the lottery. I wont remember a single specific thing he did, but I like him and wish him well.

We don’t play Seattle until next season, if Lav is still the coach by then I’ll be long dead

 

[zlev]

the goal he scored in game 1 against the penguins that was disallowed was awesome. it still counts in my heart.

Im glad those 8 fans got to see such a historic moment.

Don't forget Lavi.

Bye bye, sweet prince

 

[haveandare]

Cool. Cant wait to see him make Drury look like an even bigger moron.

I hate the way this team is going. It’s truly, truly awful in every way.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Needed a name change. Goodbye sweet prince. Time to root for another prospect that the Rangers will screw up.
