-ERIK- Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 14 hours ago, The Dude said: Hot garbage isn't fire. Lafreniere plays as weak as Chytil. Maybe more. He's so afraid of contact and is weak along the boards. Puck is like a hand grenade on his stick. He can't get rid of it fast enough if there's the possibility of being touched. They both stink though. No one plays as weak and soft as Chytil,Laf has some nice hits this season as well so I wouldn't say he's soft. He has been overpowered a lot on the boards,hopefully that's part of becoming a man and filling out. I don't agree with puck being a hand grenade on his stick,that's more Kakko imo. Kakko Never seems to do anything smooth, he's flubbed so many chances when he actually decides to attempt a shot which is few and far between.

Kakko Never seems to do anything smooth, he's flubbed so many chances when he actually decides to attempt a shot which is few and far between. I don't agree with this at all, Kakko has shown he can come out of tight spaces with the puck, and that he can hold onto it in the O zone and make a play. His issue is that he has literally ZERO production to show for it. Lafreniere never has the puck in his stick for more than half a second, even when he has room to skate with it. He usually just dumps it in, sometimes he'll make a pass to a player in a area of the ice where he has no chance to shoot or score. They are both terrible right now. Chytil is the only thing that makes the other 2 look decent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakko has had no production all season while playing top six mins , minus the 5 game stretch ? Where it looked like he was figuring out . But yes both are struggling and yes Chytil has been even worse somehow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valriera Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Hard to watch the kid play right now. You hate to compare him to lafreniere all the time but laf at least for the past three months looks like a decent player.

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Not trying to defend him or anything, but the guy has played 40 games this year, almost all of them are months ago. He's played 3-4 games since coming back, had a two-goal game and wasn't bad the games I watched. Have to remember he's been out for months and bounced between lines and linemates all the time. He's entire career has been disappointing, but he wasn't useless in the beginning of the season (although not putting up the points we want him to). I'm not trying to justify anything, just find all this recent "hate" a bit weird considering the guy has played like 5 games since january. Just weird seing all this hate after 3-4 games after being injured. If you want him traded because of the injuries etc I get that, but the guy is not useless, nor stinks. I don't get this "we can't pay him 2m because he suck" talk. 2m for a defensive responsible 3rd line RW who puts up 15g,30p with a ceiling way higher is not an overpayment. That's actually a really good value contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJWantsTheCup Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 After watching last nights game I'm thinking it's time to think about moving Kakko & Chytil. Try to get something for these guys before their value continues to decline. Last night was their chance to take over a game and shine and they showed just about nothing. Call up Montreal and see what Gorton will give for Kakko, Chytil, Lundkvist & Kravtsov. He drafted them, maybe he wants them. 2nd place is a nice finish without basically any contribution from any of those 4. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I'm going to devils advocate this for a second because I think we can all agree on two things: 1 - Kakko has far higher potential than what he's shown on a regular basis 2 - Kakko has not earned any significant raise Those of you calling for a trade...have you looked at our cap for next season? Who are we adding at under 2m or so who can give us more on the RW than Kakko? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was ever a lower priced "prove it" contract in the making, I would think this is it. Not sure about Chytil though...I'm not seeing/feeling any future in him.

If he even sniffs the NHL it'll be a bonus and any level or production at the NHL level is a lottery ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
