Value of: Kaapo Kakko

[Kakko Schmakko]

Kakko: 2 goals in his last 20 games
Eichel: 2 goals in his last 21

Kakko's trade value skyrocketted after the empty netter. Eichel's trade value is tanking.

Kakko scored a goal against an ECHL goalie playing his first NHL game in 5 years, and also scored against an empty net

On his way to becoming a hall of famer. That'll show everyone doubting him

good point

Fair point, or it would be if Tokarski had ever played a single game in the ECHL.

Well, the empty net has probably played a game in the ECHL. So he might have just been confused?

I wonder if NYR is suffering from having too many good young prospects. In the sense that development isn't a simple process and they have only so much bandwidth.

Surprised to see how much he's struggled this season statistically. What is going on with his development? Has he looked as bad as the stats show?

No

empty net has never started a game in the echl but has finished many.

Are Kakko’s struggles due to him being used in the wrong situations? Bad linemates or coach wanting him to play a style that he isn’t good at ?
It’s hard to believe he is struggling when he looked so dominant his draft year.
Possible confidence issues?
I don’t get why the Rangers do not slap him with Panarin or Zib full time and give him some elite skill to play with and work on his confidence . For now , let him play his game and show his offensive side of his game , then focus on the 200 ft game after he regans his touch ?
As a Devils fan I hope he doesn’t find it anytime soon lol. I am a fan of players that are fun to watch thiugh and hopes he shows the skill that was evident during his draft year
