Moment of silence for the clown Rangers fans who cheered the Devils drafting Jack.
Jesse’s been busy this week.
Well said again on how NY treated KK
There was no era though so let’s be real. Kakko was not good until after this season started when he played just average. He’s not good. Drury should’ve traded him in the summer for Guentzel.
Why being 2nd pic would be player failure… Ain't that more like drafting team's failure if player wont be as good as they hoped?
Kakko never got a top6 spot cuz he wasnt good enough. Over 20p 1 time in his career. Sell him while playing good and get a RD thats 90% of trouba and 2 picks
Jesse you have a tremendous take on the situation. I particularly like that you clearly state Kakko is not going to meet his perceived potential. GMs would do well to be more clear eyed about the aura of being a high draft pick. As you say he can be a useful NHL player. That is pretty good.
I've always have been surprised how the rangers dealt with him. As a devils fan. I watched both him and Hughes pretty closely throughout the last couple of years. There's a huge contrast between how each one was played. Jack was thrown to the wolves immediately and you saw him suffer and get knocked around quite a bit but he's matured whereas kk got the opposite treatment where he did not get enough time to play. Personally, I felt that he deserved more time just because everyone had the general consensus that he was more NHL ready than Jack. I really think his talents will be utilized better in Seattle. He's a really good hockey player and it's a shame that the rangers mismanaged him
This reminds me when Yzerman paid to get rid of Walman. I feel it was personal with Drury. I felt Stevie was also unhappy with Walman. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like it.
End of an era? What era? The kappo kakko never did a damn thing in the NHL era? The rangers should have traded him 2 years ago.. he stinks
On the plus size in the off season the Rangers will have enough money for Tkachuk or Marner.
Good for kappo, great for the kraken.
0:54 I hate to be "that" guy, but in this context it's pronounced "tam-bur" (timbre).
Love the trade video!
glad for Kaapo, finally gets new breath…
This trade screams “we regret doing this” in just a few years.
Bet kakko gets 20 or more with seatlle
For sure happy for Kaako, he obviously gives a damn.
so why he was never used on the penalty kill?
Great Video. I think that this is a sign of Chris Drury releasing his Fury on Players Playing Up To Less Than Their Potential. I wouldn't be surprised if he's (Chris Drury) going to trade Igor Shesterkin & LaF before their extensions kick in. Let me know what you think
Kakko was getting fist amd second line opportunities for a long time throughout the years and did nothing with it. Good player, but we need more than he can offer us right now. I just wish they used him in a package for a better trade
Remember, that Kappo Kakko was to have been replacement for Pavel Buchnievich. If you look at it that way, his future with The Rangers wasn't ever going to be stable. Let me know what you think
Kakko, Laf, Miller, Schneider all struggling… Kravtsov, Andersson, Lundquivst all out of the organization… either development absolutely sucks or drafting absolutely sucks… I find it hard to believe that so many picks havent panned out so my conclusion is the Rangers cant develop their own non-goalie talent 😂
Wouldn’t call it an “era”
Kakko is mediocre. Trading him isn’t the mistake, drafting him 2nd overall is.
I don’t get all the pearl clutching on the Kaako trade. He’s proven he’s not a top 6 scorer, nor a bottom 6 cruncher (which you need vs Fla).
Cuylle and Berard have surpassed Kaako in physical play, tenacity and scoring probability. Our near future top 6 is Bread-Tro-Laffy, Cuylle-Chytl-Berard. Frankly, I have more faith in untested Othmann and Perrault in our top 6. At his best, Kaako was an intermittent possession forward who played well on the D side, but not well enough that Ranger fans are justified in confusing him with Pavel Datsyuk. As a bottom 6 winger, you want size and/or grit like Edstrom, and a more developed Rempe. Kaako got plenty of chances per his own admission. If he didn’t have a 2nd overall pedigree, no one would shed a tear at losing someone with Kaako’s numbers because, statistically, he’s a dime a dozen. That we got 2 picks and physical Dman is a decent and unspectacular return, filling a need.
I really hope Kakko feels he has been given a new uportunity and takes and blossoms 😊
So Kakko is going to a team of players who can't score and suddenly he's going to become a consistent scorer.
I don't think so.
Era !!! Are you kidding me? This dude sucked royally!!!!
Jettisoned. More picks for xmas please.🏒🎄🍸
nope. . . too many times I've seen him with excellent chances that he flopped. Not as bad as Mika but still a flop is a flop so adios!
The most basic reason why Kakko hasn't worked out in the Rangers is that all his strengths lie in cycle and possession hockey, while the Rangers top6 has only had rush players all this time.
