Guess they don't know his jersey number either.

What's wrong with "Cup"?

The non-russian top line could be named "KRZK" ...

Does a guy named Kaapo Kakko really need a nickname?

Does a guy named Kaapo Kakko really need a nickname?

Yes, like Captain Crazy!

Yes, like Captain Crazy!

You mean Kaptain Krazy?

You mean Kaptain Krazy?

Of course!

But we rarely get to decide... IRL does.

Does a guy named Kaapo Kakko really need a nickname?

No. Everyone is going to just use his initials when the season starts.

Not the best graphic lol.

I agree. It looks like he's on the left point on the PP and attempting a diagonal pass to Namestnikov down low. What I also deduce from it, however, is Panini expects him to be on the team after New Year's, hence burning the 1st year of his ELC.

Was just about to post the same thing.

The Breadman and Cake on the same line?

That line can be named The Pastry Shop

This sounds like something from the WWF in the early 90's

Kakko is a letter away from other words than "Kakka" in Finnish too like Kaakko (southeast) but it's not like people in NA, outside of Quebecers perhaps, are gonna even make the connection for language reasons so....let's not advertize it It's an odd surname in general, there's no other surname epitomology behind it other than it being a type of bread made in western finland.

You just know the nickname with the boys is gonna be something like "Kapo" and it's gonna stick with everyone else from there.

We’re overthinking this...

In NYC, when someone is called “The Capo”, everyone knows what means...

Capiche?

Now someone photoshop Kakko as a mobster, especially a hat is needed.

Once we see Kakko in the Broadway hat, El Capo is probably going to stick.

Does a guy named Kaapo Kakko really need a nickname?

Not really. His own name really works best. Really catches the eye.

As a Swede, let me propose "Finnjäveln".

For some reason I just pictured Dwight Shrute around the holidays

I've said this basically. For marketing have him sit in a chair and have ADA and Lettieri flank his left and right, as his "enforcers".

Kakko means bread. Breadman and breadboy, in the same line. Batman and Robin. This can't be a coincidence.

To add: Specifically a type of bread.
