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

[broadwayblue]

I am going with 99/1. Like I said, Shero can survive if somehow he takes Hughes and Kakko becomes the better player. He is not surviving second guessing himself, taking Kakko and watching Hughes prosper across the Hudson.

But in the event that second guessing takes place, I would be more than happy to take Hughes off his hands and allow him to grow into role and develop, while Mika continues to play 1C and play against the opposition's top lines.

Agreed. I was going to say 98/2 but dialed it back a bit. Hopefully the Devils go with that 1 or 2% chance as we could desperately use a franchise center. Mika and Hughes for a couple years followed by Hughes and Mika would be a great 1/2 for years to come. Not going to happen though so I'm 100% on board the Kakko train.

And AK is somewhere right behind him

I've actually been to that park. Kaisaniemi, right next to the train station in Helsinki. Back in December 2017 I was there for the Helsinki Ice Challenge with Jokerit vs SKA (With Shestyorkin and Rykov)

Random. But I think Hasek may have been Generational. Can't think of another Generational goaltender.

Off topic but all those great goaltenders of the 90's/early 2000's like Brodeur, Roy and Hasek cannot be generational and should have an asterisk next to their stats because they are vastly inflated by the dead puck era. Not to mention the trap.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Hasek won 2 hart trophies and dragged the Sabres to the finals.

He is generational.

I hope the 90/10 projections are more reality than well wishing. NJ should take Kakko, blunder of a lifetime to take Hughes at 1. Kakko will put up 90 pts in the NHL before Hughes is done dumping in his diaper down in the AHL.

[GoAwayGiannone]

Hes hungover is more likely.

Uhhh...drinking is illegal under 21 here in the states. Not so sure I like that kinda behavior from our supposed future franchise winger. Hope Gorton drafts a good old boy instead. What a shame

Kakko is gearing up for the Combine. Everyone stayed up partying all night, all of a sudden Kakko was missing, so a few guys went looking for him and found him in bed. They dragged him up so that he wouldn’t miss the party.

Kakko himself wouldn’t comment on it, just said that it was a good party.

Please be satire

Gorton: So I take it you're getting in late to the combine because you were celebrating with your teammates?

Kakko: Hell yeah, I got to' up!

Clark: You do realize that the legal age of drinking is-

Kakko: Legal age of drinking is who cares I got 3 gold medals!

Clark..... Dammit he's right.

*Kakko Exits while thrusting his hips at everyone*

JD: If that kid isn't #1 on our board I'm going back to Columbus.

How long before Hughes tells everyone that Kakko bit him during the interview process?

Serious question, is this true? You aren’t allowed to for example drink a glass of wine at home for dinner when you are 15-16?

Don't think there are any rules against drinking at home if your parents are cool with it

Some of the laws here are so backwards though

Every time Kakko bites you your chance of becoming a generational player goes up 5%.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Kakko probably bit @Amazing Kreiderman a bunch of times trying to get away from him.

Sign AK.

You only don’t get in trouble cause no one calls the cops. The law is 21 to drink there is no cool parent exception

Kakko doesn’t bite in self defense. He uses his talons.

Get AK some bandages.

The defense rests.

It depends on the state but that’s not true for NY.
