Glad to hear that Kaapo understands that his skating has to improve. Last summer he hit the weight room hard; this year he needs to give Laura Stamm a call.
Utah should sign him? Young fresh start young team cheap. I don't think New York is a fit? One two year shows what you got
Trade him and a draft pick to Canucks for Petterssen
He's a good kid, honest and wants to improve.
As much as I'm on the trade Kaapo train… you gotta admire the honesty and self-awareness here. He got the chance. He didn't run with it. I wish him all the best. I'm sure as soon as we trade him, he breaks out. But we just can't continue to run the risk. The window is now, not later
I hope he stays. However, I think he'll be a scapegoat and traded.
Kakko taking the blame for the first line not producing is bullshit
Next year…. again. He’s only 22.
The kid is getting there. He will be better next year…I hope he's still here
As a Rangers fan, We lost to a Florida team that was clearly better,
The rangers had 0 regulation wins against Florida in 9 Tries,
Regular Season, and postseason combined
Put him in a trade to the senators
Kaapo Kakko is honestly the toughest call for me. He is young and has a ton of potential, however he just never produced and I wonder if moving on from him would help the Rangers and him.
If NYR trades him they will REGRET it
He breaks out next year
If only Kakko could take the next step
He has to go to the net more. With & without the puck
He had every opportunity this year to be a difference maker. He is still very young with a huge upside.
Work a deal and bring in Brady Tkachuk.
I still do like Kakko. He has the tools. He def has a monster of a shot. But if he wants more money, I’ll pass
He’s gone
This guy had chance to be first line right winger and yet he can’t grasp it. Worst #2 pick in nhl history. Sorry I love the kid but he’s not the real deal.
Laffy was considered a bust too but we held on to him and look? This kid just needs a little more time to be coached up and trained under someone like Laviolette and he’ll be good enough for us.
The kid just doesn't have the tools to be a top 6 forward. Not the skating or puck skills or awareness. He has a decent shot that's about it.
Hes hard to dislike & i believe he would flourish elsewhere. I just hope for his sake the decision made is best for him
Epic Bust
Please find a spot for him in the top 6 this season. Getting f king ridiculous!!!!
