Pete Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) 1 hour ago, jsm7302 said: I feel like the value is equal honestly. He doesn't fill a role that no one else couldn't step into. I feel like he needs a jumpstart elsewhere because he doesn't look good here. I feel the lights are a bit too bright for Mr. Kakko. It's okay, he isn't the first and he seems like a nice guy who tries hard. Wish him luck wherever it may be but I don't think he gets unlocked here. He's a RW who makes nothing. Do you see many RWs on the Rangers who are 22 and cost controlled, and can defend on a team who's not great at defending overall?

It's a fair point but I also forsee a package where we could recoup that role. Read those reviews posted earlier; the kids needs a reset somewhere. It isn't here.

Not saying any other team would've had the balls to do that given his "2OA NHL Ready" evaluation... and yet if were evaluated as a mid to late 1rst rounder, that outcome would be normal... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any stint at all may have made a difference. I don't think he would have needed a full season. Should have put him on a conditioning assignment upon returning from his latest injury. The Rangers want to say they learned their lesson with how they initially brought kids along. Then they rush Kakko back into the lineup. They didn't learn shit. IDC what they say about how they are overhandling the current kids. They constantly fail at feeling a pulse on their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Well....rumor mill has Buffalo, Anaheim and Minnesota linked to Kakko.

BrooksBurner Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 Mittlestadt already has 32 5v5 points this year. That's 1 less than Panarin. Last year he had 39, one less than Zibanejad. He's 25 years old. If he's actually available, and for a reasonable price, you go do it. The main knock at this stage is he isn't a goal scorer, but a Panarin-Mittelstadt pairing could be Panarin-Strome on steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 (edited) I'd drive Kakko to the airport in a deal for Mittelstadt @Pete Edit: Fuck it. I'd drive Kakko from NYC all the way to Buffalo. Edited February 14 by BrooksBurner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4d Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 It's hard to believe the Sabres actually have Mittelstadt on the table at this point. Maybe he is asking for the sun and the moon at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersIn7 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I like Middlestadt. Don’t believe anything in THN though. It sucks. And it doesn’t make sense that they’d be shopping him. That said…Buffalo has been patient with him and got little through 5 seasons. I wonder what would happen if we all did the same with Kakko.
