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

[Bluenote13]

Stan was insufferable during the Isles dynasty and the rest of the 1980's. He really gave it to the Rangers, even when they'd be winning. His voice, along with Jiggs and Eddy will always remind me of those 80's Islander teams..

If the Devils want to hand us the most dynamic, offensive driving skater in the draft - so be it.

I aint gonna complain!

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Way to turn a verb into an adjective, Stan!

 

[Leetch3]

Overwhelming is not the first word that comes to mind regarding Stan Fischler.

 

[Leetch3]

I'm absolutely certain that we are going to get kakko on friday. and i'm ready to #rockoutwithmykakkout....if the unthinkable happens and i'm left being forced to imagine a future with a top 6 with mika & kratsov on one line and hughes & panarin on the other i will be absolutely devastated*

*Warning for devastation that last more than 4 hours please seek medical attention

I doubt the debs will pick KK

 

[The Crypto Guy]

In less than 72 hours, Kakko will be a NEW YORK RANGER!

Dude ....

This is really happening.

I was excited for Zherdev and Enver Lisin.

It's about time we got this gift.

KK ALL THE F***IN' WAY

They may but you’re probably drafting Kakko instead

 

[Polar Bear]

They may but you’re probably drafting Kakko instead

Yeah, that's who we all mostly want. Lol

 

[Seele]

Few more nights until the draft.

This is precisely the same reason my mother hates Stan with a passion; literally if just pops up on the screen for whatever reason and starts to give an opinion she says "oh go f*** yourself Stan" at the tv, it's very endearing

 

[Nate070]

I really want Kakko ending up in NYR. I have been hearing for so long my swedish friends and colleagues bragging about going to Madison Square Garden and watching Henke "the King" play. I wanna go there and watch Kaapo "The Prez" play

Oy.

 

[Leetch3]

listening to the bobcast...not sure who he is referring too but made a comment that "he told me that Kakko should go #1 but won't for PR reasons"

 

[Rongomania]

Oy.

We're about to enter a different era now and damn it feels good.

I listened to it and that isn't what he said. He was reading the question that someone submitted and it was that person who suggested it. Bob believes that Hughes will go #1, but said he doesn't think PR factors into it.

WHATEVER the mf reason, idc, he has to drop to us.

Today's NYP.

Not surprising. Hughes is American. A lot of hype around him for a longer period of time. Devils need to sell tickets.

This was cleared up by another poster. Apparently Bob was responding to a listener who questioned if that (NJD selecting him for PR reasons) would be the case. He said something to the effect of "they'll take him, but it won't be for PR reasons."

Yeah, I don't know what to think about the Machado incident.

This is how rumors start!

thanks I went back 3 times trying to figure out how 'he' was and thought he was referring to a scout that told him that. I knew it wasn't Bob's opinion but thought it was coming from a valid source not a fan
