17 year old Kakko produced at nearly THREE times the rate in Liiga that 19 year old Podkolzin did in the KHL
Did u not see podz lead his team in the KHL playoffs last season? Dude got minimum minutes on the best team in the league. Then breaks out when given minutes.

Kakko until proven otherwise Rangers are horrible with forward prospect so I wouldn't be surprised if Podkolzin ends up better

So at 19 (month before 20) he got the exact same statline as 17 year old (only 3 months from being 16) Vitali Kravtsov did in the KHL playoffs

Do you rank Kravtsov above Kakko?
It has to do with the fact that those Podkolzin stats you listed aren’t otherworldly. Kakko’s stats in Liiga were otherworldly
So that makes him better cause of what he did at 17? How about we grade him at what he does in the NHL which isnt much.

weird comparison. Kakko has a skillset that Pod does not. However Pod has Toews level intangibles, and is a toolsy wrecking ball; and would actually be the perfect player to play on someone like Kakko's wing.

I like both guys but Kakko is the clear choice at the moment
