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

[danktopshelf]

It might just be me, but Cozens seems like by far the best human being profiled.

Hughes is a massive dbag. Which if I'm a Devils fan I like. You can't be that much of a d-nozzle and not be the truth. I thought he'd bust, but he's probably gonna be pretty good. Big shout out to Hughes' bubby. She was both cringy and the real MVP. I'm all about Jack's grandma.

Kappo is for real Ivan Drago. Kappo is gonna score goals, win games and cash bank. Respect. Guy comes off like a ringer. Best player in the draft by far. But he's not gonna be tabloid fodder. I doubt he ever chills with his teammates here. This guy is gonna score 40 goals a year and be doing stuff in Finland none of us know or care about.

Cozens seems like such a good dude. Like for real salt of the earth. Watch him bust, but I think he'll be successful whether it's hockey or not.

Caufield also seems like a tool, but you can tell he's a good guy from a good family.

Top five offseason post.

Respect.

But if Hughes weren't playing hockey he'd be rushing PIKE right about now. His being from Orlando now makes sense. Dude is pure vinegar water. He's probably gonna be the man in JC/Hoboken

Oh man, I forgot he was a Floridian. Total dbag, can't wait to watch these two play against each other forever.

@danktopshelf johnny manziel

would love if Hughes went down that path (well not the drug part) but he’s gonna be good

def a huge schmuck, though

At least Johnny Football was entertaining.

Jack Hughes is a cross between Brodeur and Scott Stapp.

It now makes total sense why Jack Hughes and Taylor Hall are BFFs

 

[Kupo]

With guys like Trouba, Panarin, and Glass, I think a lot of us are forgetting we got

KAAPO MOTHER****ING KAKKO!

Him alone would have made this offseason magically delicious.

Best. Offseason. Ever.

Glass?

Glass?

Rumor: - Tanner Glass Retires/Joins NYR Front Office

Just seemed like a weird post to make that joke as the rest of it was serious so I thought maybe he meant Fox.

The line between joke and reality is often blurred these days.

 

[Quinnisinoverhishead]

So glad we got this guy over Hughes. Can’t listen to Jacks interviews. It’s like listening to a robot, no personality. Kakko is a beauty.

 

[Kupo]

Glass?

Yes.

I was 100% serious.

There’s no joking around when it comes down to Glass, Tanner.

 

[EpicDing]

Holy shit chill with the Hughes bashing. Go somewhere else.

 

[eco's bones]

They're still kids--to me Kaapo comes over the most serious and driven but maybe that's partly because you don't see him interacting with the other players. He's almost like an intruder in the video. It's alright though--IMO he's the one who should come out of the gate fastest. He's got very good size and strength already and he continually attacks the net--he should become our best player within two/three years--for the next decade or so he'll be a New York sports icon like Henrik.

Holy **** chill with the Hughes bashing. Go somewhere else.

Frankly it's embarrassing

 

[UnSandvich]

Holy **** chill with the Hughes bashing. Go somewhere else.

It's pretty pitiful, tbh

 

[GunkWinger]

At least not yet. Once hes playing for the Devils I could see it but right now he just an 18 year old kid.

 

[Bluenote13]

Holy **** chill with the Hughes bashing. Go somewhere else.

Seriously.

Only took less than two weeks for the "Hughes is the worst human being and Kakko is a saint" mob to show up with their pitchforks.

Have you ever heard Peyton Manning or Derek Jeter give an interview? It is an art, not a science.

 

[True Blue]

Frankly it's embarrassing

It's the echo chamber. People have convinced themselves that Kakko is the rightful #1. If you think this is bad, wait until what happens when Kakko has a better freshman year.

 

[Crease]

What are some of you going to do when Hughes headlines Team USA in the 22 Games

Looking forward to (and rooting for) a long, successful careers for both Kakko and Hughes. The Rangers/Devils rivalry has been stale for far too long.

 

[Gardner McKay]

This is not a Hughes bashing thread or a city bashing thread. If it continues, you will be removed permanently.

Not only is it not allowed in the rules but frankly, we are better than that.

Lol what?
