This was definitely a huge growth year for Kaapo. Even Stevie Wonder could see that his confidence grew immensely with the puck and in 1-on-1 battles. Hopefully he keeps trending upwards. Also hoping for the same with Laf.
he was one of the only noticeable players in that devils series.
He had some progress this year. Seems to be getting more comfortable physically but the overall disappointment can't be denied. Kid isn't nearly as talented as the experts told us
Gallant was constantly juggling the manpower on the top two lines. Meanwhile the Kid Line always got stiffed on time. They were clearly the second best Line on the team. Kakko is a great player and appears to be a very thoughtful young man. We are lucky to have him.
I bet he would flourish with Roope, Miro, and the rest of the Finnish mafia in Dallas.
He's a keeper!👍
Kaako > lafreniere i know got 1 more year on him but
Boy this is the gift that keeps giving!! Devils baby!! Won 3 out of last 4 playoff series against the Rags!! This ain't '94 anymore
Keep Kappo. Trade Lafreniere.
How is it that he's been in NYR for 4 yrs and is still playing 4th line?
Amazing what happens when you play your players. He should have had Kane's spot.
Chytil kakko and lafren in the top 6 consistently next season please
The kids don't need to be shipped off. Like KK stated, they need more time on the ice. I for one will be upset if I don't see those 3 on the second line. Vinnie is a checking center and should be on the third line. He only makes 1.2 mil more than Chytil. Not enough to keep him where he is. Chytil is slowly improving on his face offs too.
1st is the worst and 2nd is the best, especially when it comes to the 2019 nhl entry draft
Each player needs to look into himself and do not worry about how your teammates play.
He'll never be Jack. He is #2.
Here after Gallant fired.
Pittsburgh traded everyone after they drafting Crosby and Malkin.
Can u imagine Pittsburgh drafting Crosby and Malkin, and playing them on the third line, while the vets that hadn’t won a cup since Lemieux got all the minutes?
Considering he was the 2nd overall pick, to me he has become the worse Ranger I have ever seen, an average of 11 f___ing goals after 4 seasons. He's pathetic, not NHL style player, doesnt shoot enough, cant score, not physical enough, plays too timid, doesnt exert himself, hasnt improved at all…get rid of him IF they can !!! trade him for a bucket of pucks, just get rid of him.
He’s got a lot of potential, people got to realize that’s a 2 way foward, not a playmaker like Jack Hughes. Kakko plays 2 sides of the game. He’s outstanding with the puck. He needs more confidence like he had when he plays for Finland. Looking forward to next year.
