Prospect Info: The Second Overall Pick Thread: Part II (Kakko/Hughes Talk)

[Amazing Kreiderman]

12 x 2 = 24

Is it the draft yet?

24 is a beautiful number though. It's a factorial outcome

You guys are talking about Duke Nukem 3D. I'm talking about the very first Duke Nukem

How about Wolfenstein? Another favorite of mine.

Castle Wolfenstein was alright. Very basic. Wolfenstein 3D was a masterpiece man. Even the opening theme, which is a MIDI version of Horst Wessellied haha.

But we are going off-topic here. Maybe we need a gaming thread

I wore it in Grade 8 basketball because of Tino Martinez so, yeah, you don't need to explain its worth to me.

 

[Polar Bear]

Might as well give Kakko 99 because future GOAT confirmed.

 

[aufheben]

Fedotenko gave up 19 for Richards, Fast has played with 3 different numbers already (1 away from tying Derek Armstrong). I see no reason why Nieves would hang on to number 24 which probably doesn't really mean anything to him anyway.

You're right. 24 makes more sense for Kakko

I mean Fedotenko and Richards were both veterans and had been teammates before. Maybe Kakko wouldn’t want the number given up for his sake.

Didn’t Fast wear 91 and 31 too? What’s the site that generates little jerseys for forum sigs? Like on Daily Faceoff? I cannot for the life of me remember the site.

31 and 91 was only pre-season.

Hockey-reference.com has the jersey numbers listed for each player

Retired league wide so can't

Didn't someone buy a number from a fellow teammate once?

Rules don't apply to Kakko.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Nieves may not even make the roster.

I just hope it doesn’t become a bad omen like those McDavid Sabres jerseys.

I remember a story in Carolina 2-3 years ago where I think Scott Darling had to buy dinner to get his number from a teammate, but it was all tongue-in-cheek

Nah we're good.

Unless he goes 1st.

 

[Ori]

Oh but he do and he will get a top 6 role - at least @bernmeister wishful plan next season.

 

[Thirty One]

Nieves may not even make the roster.

I think this depends a lot on how the Kreider negotiations go.

I think a watch is the standard payment.

This might have been what I was thinking... I remember it being tongue in cheek when it occurred but I remember something like that.

What’s a jersey number worth? Canes players make a deal

Obviously, as a Rangers fan I am excited. But as a hockey fan, there's a big part of me that feels that Rangers fans deserve for all of this to work.

The Rangers fan base deserves the same results Chicago or Pittsburgh achieved. They've been handed nothing in their history.

They represent different parts of the world, different nationalities, different backgrounds.

They're loyal. They're passionate. They're unique.

I want Kakko to be at the center of all that success.

We saw how this board reacting during the lottery. I can only imagine how it would be if we won a cup.

I want that for this board. For the old-timers. For those we've lost. For those we haven't met yet.

I made a pact here when I was like 14 that if we ever did win I was running laps around MSG in boxers or less.

I hope this is reality soon

On my way home work, our train passed a sign saying "Katco Electric" and I read it as "Kakko Electric"

It's a sign.

 

[Bluenote13]

13 is available... and it's his birth day

Literally!

About 25 years a Rangers fan and, outside of the obvious, perhaps my biggest Rangers related dream has been of getting a great finnish prospect to watch and follow. And no, Lauri Korpikoski didn't count.

The funny part is that now that this looks to be finally happening with Kaapo Kakko, I've suddenly turned pessimist and seem to be looking for any excuse not to get my hopes up. Pretty much the moment Rangers won 2nd overall I went from drooling over Kakko as a potential francise changing player to wondering what could possibly be wrong with him. I imagine there's a term for that, besides crazy that is.
