Prospect Info: Kaapo Kakko, RW, 1st round, 2nd overall, 2019: Part II

[SnowblindNYR]

In a prior thread I had mentioned a "what if" scenario in which Montreal didn't land the top 3 pick, and we sat there with the option between Kotkaniemi and Kravtsov. (I know, I know, management claims Kravtsov was #1 ranked forward, I know, I know).

I thought it was #2 ranked forward.

Svech being #1.

No Rangers logo on the card but his autograph cards will be in Panini.

Looking to get a Kakko jersey, but was hoping you guys would be able to help before I do that.

• What are the odds he makes it out of camp? (I'm assuming near 100%)
• Will he be wearing #24? I believe Boo Nieves currently owns it
• If not #24, any guesses as to what else it would be?

Cheers

ELC: Probably 99.99%
Number: Who knows. Could be 12, 13, 17, 24, 33, 34, 54 or a number he hasn't used in his career yet

You guys are going to have a lots of fans from Finland including me. I am very interested seeing how Kakko performs in his rookie season.
And nice to see you have such a mature and cool fanbase.

Yeah wait a few minutes that opinion will change. Lol

 

[Calad]

Wow, that's cheap! I thought it would be like $350. That would be amazing, thank you! Also, I'm happy to hear you're coming back to the greatest city on earth.

Wow, it's a nice city.

I'm sorry. Typical American. It never dawned on me that would be a jersey. Here it would look like you had a whole team of referees running around. Damn it, Soccer!

Of course its not a jersey lol its a button down

Of course its not a jersey lol its a button down

"Button-down" refers to a style of collar; "button-up" refers to the larger category of shirts that button up the front.

That's why I thought it was a footlocker shirt.

and you were right to think that

How would I know they don't button jerseys in Soccer? I don't watch it. It seems strange you would have a button up jersey, but so does the rest of the game.

I dont watch baseball, football, or basketball and yet I know what each looks like......

Well then I will defer to your knowledge of Finnish Soccer.

I'm pretty sure it was just a shirt that fit that style (obviously him and Kotkaniemi had something going on and maybe others). As TPS fan I'd like to think he picked the black and white one for a reason, and I'm sure he did. At this moment, he is still technically our player.
