Confirmed Trade: [SEA/NYR] Kaapo Kakko for Will Borgen, 2025 3rd, 2025 6th

I just dont think Kakko has that thagught of value, and that junior numbers coming from being very fysichal strong as a junior.
The poor guy got hyped up, he has some nice moved around the net that get him some hype, but It went out of control. He should had been drafted #8-15.

I suspect he would be an AHL superstar. Is the game to fast for him?

Why is Drury trying to jettison the whole team

Locker room is a mess. They’re not fighting with each other, but they’re tuning out their third coach and complaining to the media that the GM is prioritizing winning over friendship.

Someone forgot how Kakko turned senior defensemen inside out in world champs 2019. He has been asked to round out his game in the NHL and lost confidence in his offensive game. It happens.

He made quite a few really good NHL defensemen look like rookies.

80 - 115 maybe based on his development and production to this point

Kakko is like Zadina. He was chosen so high in draft due to their WJC performance

Like Slaf as well?

I just used the search function (you should try it) for Hedman and Bust in the content. There are maybe 6 people labeling him a bust in 2011. Two of them said they would have drafted Ryan Ellis over him so lets ease up on HFBoards authority on what constitutes a bust for a 21 year old.

Let's be honest, the standard for HF strawmen is "some random guy posted this years ago" so I get to call his opinion out and act like it was a mainstream opinion.

He's not that bad
