At this point i'd rather Kakko just get sent down. He's looked terrible for weeks. Let him bulk up and dominate next year.

I agree. Disappointing. With the amount of hype both he and Hughes had, cant help but feel the 1st and 2nd overall were below average for typical drafting years.

Kakko was advertised as NHL ready, plays against men, has the size, etc. But he just has no conditioning, he is about as slow as you can be at the NHL level, almost no acceleration, struggles with a one timer, etc.

Biggest positive I've seen from him is that he has great hands. But if you cant skate, doesnt matter much.

The AHL isn’t going to improve any of those things.
