I havent had a jersey with a name on the back since Messier. If Kravs makes the team I may just get one. I love Kakko but I think Kravtsov is my favorite prospect.
He's good, but not $12+ million good. Christ. Then again he's probably the best young FA available for the next 2 years it seems so he may be able to ransom somebody.
Stepan got a hat trick against Buffalo in his first game. But the only thing the forum I belonged to cared about was how hot Stepan's Mom and sister were when shown on camera :rofl:
There seems to be a friendly debate whether Kakko tried a fake out or he whiffed here. To me it looks like a fake. Regardless his skating is amazing.
Also here is a slick shot from Kravs
I'd love to retain Kreider myself, I think he fills a nice role. Can you imagine rolling lines with Kakko*, Krav*, Panarin, and Kreider? That's some serious size and power charging down the ice.
* assuming they live up to potential
His size concerns me. I know there are many other great traits that make up for that, but I cant help but feel the game is getting bigger. I have zero actual evidence to back this up but I cant help but think 6'1 - 6'4 200+ pounds is the new star pedigree.
I keep getting random chills that the Rangers will get fancy and go off the board so we miss out on both Hughes and Kakko. Someone shake me and tell me it wont happen....
