Anyone who ever put Kakko above Laf is a moron. The only skill Kakko has is puck protection.
I mean wouldn’t you just want to bring up Othmann? He has been playing well in Hartford.
Kakko needs to retire
Kakko does a lot of little things well. While I do agree he hasn't performed well offensively(points-wise), and do agree he may overthink the game — he has showed to be one of the "best defensive forwards" & "best along the boards when handling the puck" in the past few years…… we have to remember to take this into account. He is a reason why & how you guys got to #1. He is not at the level of Panarin, Kreider, & Zibby when putting points on the board — but I guarantee he does a lot more better things than they do that doesn't always get recognized.
Kappo needs to determine what type of player he is going to be. Is he a defensive forward? Is he a two-way player? Is he blue-collar type? Is he a setup player?
Seems like he can contribute like Vinny Trocek does. A two-way center who does everything well, but doesn’t put up points like Chris or Artemi or Mika. There should be a place on the team for a player like that. He just needs to figure out who he is.
I feel he has not played to the potential the organization thought he would. Every season we hear the young prospects will open up and start scoring which has not happen. Do i feel Kaapo should be traded YES and why i feel he has not improved. too inconsistent and the rumor of Duclair traded to the Rangers comes true that will be it.
What IS his injury
Kakko sucks, need to trade him ASAP
