Yep
Obviously would have been MORE than okay winning 1 and taking Hughes but I just prefer to watch a guy like Kakko. #bigboysonly

It's not your fault bud. You suffer from DF syndrome.
Well at least I'm mature enough not to get into a Pissing match like in the Main thread where it's Finnish fans vs. American fans going "Oooh! My American Player is better than your Finnish Player! Murica! oooga!! oooga!!" or "No. Finnish players are better! NYAAAH!!"

I'm just excited the Rangers, for the 2nd year in a row, pick a player I've watched extensively and met a few times even. It creates that connection early on as a fan and makes it really easy to jump on the train early. I just never expected us to win the draft lottery. It was as much a long-shot as us picking Kravtsov at 9

To be fair, after the 1984 draft Neil Smith declared Kirk Muller to be a better prospect than Mario Lemieux. Not that we'd be unhappy to get a well-rounded player who can captain a team who scored 1,000 NHL points. But people disagreeing with the majority doesn't mean they aren't saying something dumb.
He got awarded as best player on the team aswell. Good game from him.

That pass with 3 minutes remaining was just as nice as his assist.
I LOVE how puck dominate he is. And according to scouts, he’s very good without the puck.
I cannot believe we got so lucky. I just can’t wait to watch him live in a Rangers jersey.

yeah It really hit me watching this game and how he moves without the puck he is really good defence wise, like this game he was almost always the 3rd player back home. Hes awerenes of the game is so great, he really know when to go for it attack wise or when to turn around to go back defend. So many times he linemates stayed in the offence and was still buried head down in there while kakko was already backing up towards the midzoone

I usually overrate our top prospects, Players like Kakko will always find a way to get on the score sheet, his size, shot, handles, and IQ next to Zib? I truly believe Zibanejad and Kakko will have great chemistry and have a 35+35 season off the bat.
Zibanejad scores 70 with much lesser talent. Imagine with Kakko and or Kravtsov?
Advanced metrics are going to have to be referred to as Kakkos from here on out.

He's Kravtsov on steroids, man. He has the defensive awareness, the skating, the eye for his teammates the same way Kravtsov has, but he's even better in other areas

You sound like a Canadiens fan, talking about Cups won 15+ years ago as if it means something to players who were still in diapers at the time
If he goes to NJ, he won't get to experience either.
too soon to give up the 54 after mcquaid has worn it.

Saying someone sounds like a Canadiens fan is the most savage insult possible.
Potentially over the line IMHO

If I was Kakko I would get ahead of this and post a few pictures involving the Rangers in some way on social media. Maybe at the combine "forget" to send your health information or show up for the Devils interview. Then the icing on the cake, before the draft let it slip that maybe you always wanted to play in New York? They're gonna pick Hughes anyway, it's pretty clear so why not, it would be clever marketing

I will say that I like how these two players will be linked as rivals from Day 1. I think the hockey gods heard the “We both suck” chants and made it so.
