The thing with Kakko is... he's got a frame that you would want every single year in the playoffs. As he gets older, he's mixing it up more. He makes us immediately more difficult to handle. I know he doesn't score a ton, but he's the kind of player that helps wear a defense down. He's not necessarily doing it because he's checking guys into the rafters, he's doing it by being a horse and hard to knock off the puck. In the regular season, when there's more time and space, he's seen as not as important. But as these series tighten, the hope is that he can have a bigger impact in helping to wear down opposing D.Kakko is 100% an NHL player. But he also 100% may not be worse his impending raise to a cap strapped team like the Rangers. Feel like either him or Othmann getting dealt this summer. Kakko definitely is a good player, might not ever be a great player, but that’s fine
don't worrySorry for the bad joke, bernie.
This. Really would improve our 5 on 5 offense which will be needed to get by the Canes. He was one of our most effective players two years ago against them.I'd like to see Chytil playing center to Cuylle and Kakko with Wennberg centering Vesey and Goodrow

I agree. The only trade that makes sense to me is with Jets for Perfetti.keep kakko. his game wins when it matters.
The unpaid interns hate their jobs?Why do they always use a cringy pic of them all mid laugh.
I'd rather have an underpaid 2 way winger at 4 mil per year than an overpaid 7 mil player, if that makes senseIt's interesting that you say this because while you may be right about what we need, what Kakko's strengths and weaknesses are, this may be true. Team needs more Benoit Pouliots and less Alex Frolovs.
That said, because Kakko tends to underperform in the most visible offensive statistics relative to his fancy stats, you could make the case that he'll often be underpaid, and therefore a bargain.

I would prefer a less cringy shot and i refuse to listen until they do so.Why not
Not for nothing but what ever line Kakko is on tends to show up on these
Havent seen too much of Wennberg and Vesey but they are both intelligent players who I could see come up with a deft passing play or something leading to a goal.I'd like to see Chytil playing center to Cuylle and Kakko with Wennberg centering Vesey and Goodrow
Molly looks like a lobster. Has she been covering the playoffs from the equator?Why do they always use a cringy pic of them all mid laugh.

I just listen on a podcast app where you don’t have to see them at all, like a normal person.I would prefer a less cringy shot and i refuse to listen until they do so.
