Player Discussion Kaapo Kakko

[Roo Returns]

He was flying last night. If he can get hot and keep this going it would make things a lot easier.

Brett Berard is the perfect linemate for them moving forward.

Oh yes def, I only thought otter because maybe he’d show more ‘flash’ with those two. Though it wouldn’t surprise me to see Berard elevate the current Ros role.

It's just irksome to me as a KK fan - Laf was able to take that step when he got to play with great linemates. That's how forward development almost always goes. I don't think Kakko will ever get that chance on NYR.

The problem is the Best Buds need a speed guy, and Chytil was out most of the year. Kakko would be a monster if he had a cycling center. 2006 Michael Nylander.

Kaapo was on his horse last night. He flashed some speed. There seems to be potential remaining to be tapped. Just needs to be all the time and not in flashes.

And maybe he needs to play with a good player who supports him for a while. Like Panarin has with Laf.

Wennberg and Cuylle are right for him until he solidly integrates rush play into his game

KK has made a few really good passes in the playoffs. I need to give him props for that because I got on him during the season for his assist numbers. Fair is fair

Wenneberg took a shit on his and Igor's face when he shot it off the post on a 60% empty net.

Man Kakko stepped it up big time. I want him, 50 and 72 on the line.

I noticed you were not thrilled by that shot in the other thread

People in the GDT were mad at Kakko for not shooting. Set up a tap in. How dare he?

Were they? It was a 3 on 1 and he had the ideal result outside of hands like feet Wenneberg missing.

The one where he skated around the net and set up Wennberg right in front. He had multiple great passes.
