Maybe the team that drafts Kakko should sign Palve as well 
Super excited to see how Kakko performs in the playoffs.

Palve's just the only one (with Kakko) with some offensive instinct and ability to not only handle the puck but pass it without passing it to the opponents.Maybe the team that drafts Kakko should sign Palve as well

Kakko-Palve-Suoranta is TPS's 1st line today. Now put Palve back on #1 PP and Kakko back to the right side where he can shoot the puck and we're good.
Good eye for the game from coach Kaskinen to bring back Palve-Kakko duo together. I still gotta admit that Filppula-Kakko certainly have had very good games aswell this season. F.ex in last Jukurit's game first period they created couple of grade A chances, but the luck wasnt on TPS side that led to Kakko's 0+0 instead of 3+0 (Tho the opponent wasnt the best possible to cover blue paint, men, either neutral zone, and one game doesnt tell the whole story of the ssn) but certainly the missplays are fewer and puck circle is a lot more effective with Palve on more constant basis and that way creates more offense when u connect better w/ each other.
KalPa havent been among the best defensive teams either in this season or when it comes to goaltending, so the puck control and PP will be a key for TPS in this game and threats gives more opportunities to Kakko for probably even same kinda goal performance as what was it in last game against them (2+0).
If that multipoint/goal performance happens as I predict and mental preparation is well done that wuld make Kakko to surpass Laine's point production and tie Barkov's goal one in their D-ssns respectively.

Trailing 6 points from the PPG barrier. There are 6 games left so he would need to go on a tear for 2 points per game to reach that. Almost impossible and out of reach, but theoretically possible. Too bad they slotted him in with Filppula to break down the point streak and I just don't get why he's not on the right wall of the ice on PP anymore, while probably being the best shooter and distributor the team has. Would be fun seeing a D eligible player to finally achieve the unprecedented, though despite of getting close, I doubt it'll be Kakko. He's had a heck of a season though and there's still the playoffs and pretty surely the WHCs to add into the resume.
And I'm sure he will be a major factor in both of the abovementioned events (WHC, Poffs), especially when TPS as a team is only getting better w/ one more big gun coming to the lineup (Korpikoski) and while Finland wont probably get that stacked roster for WHC. (Personally dreaming for Barkov-Kakko duo 
).
It is just unbelievable how big factor can a teenager be for big boys competition. Tho he has a habit of a manchild instead of a Mickey mouse already.

If I were the GM I would try to sabotage his spring to the extent it doesn't harm the team to increase the chances of him staying his D+1 year.

What the actual f*** is this?
Do that, and you'll ensure you'll lose your top prospects in the future to other teams. Also, Kakko is playing in NA come October.

Ha, exactly what Chev is doing with Laine in the Jets, although towards a different end (for getting cheaper extension). After all leaving one of the brightest star in the future hanging for half a season (now twice) isn't something any coach would do without guidance or/and blessing from the GM. In Kakko's case I don't know if even a GM would be enough to keep him out of the big league come next year, even if he could easily hurt his production. Also with Kakko, they've done pretty much everything to give him as good circumstances as possible to get results. Of course, demoting him out to PP2 and using him in the net front in the PP1 wasn't exactly good for him either and those little things are why he's not a PPG player as of this moment. Filppula and Palve have both always come first still. Veterans are veterans after all.

A nice Kakko shift. He creates chances like that in almost every single game.

He's learned that his teammates can't really do anything with the puck anyway. I'm sure he'll pass the puck more when he plays with good players. This is his evolution, after all. He was known as a good playmaker. He wouldn't just lose it.
Being able to adapt to the situation(Teammates unable to score) shows high hockey IQ and adaptability. When he plays with a high end sniper, look for him to pass more often.

Palve can finish. Just no luck today and TPS spent half the game in the penalty box.
Korpikoski is supposed to return next week, I think they plan playing him with Kaapo.

Suddenly all other players cant play a shit....
Kakko has no flaws, all other players just cant play. Yeah, right!
Kakko makes team mates bad players. Not a good sign....

He could've passed to Palve who would've had a really good scoring chance there. I'm pretty sure other players don't like it when you keep doing that stuff shift after shift either.
Junior mentality somewhat. NHL will weed that out of him real fast.

Similar tier. I'd lean Kakko, although Svechnikov probably has better raw tools.

That wasn't my point. I keep hearing and seeing Kakko put up multiple good scoring chances in a game but some of them are unable to finish.
Palve is able like mentioned before. I nevet said his teammates are ****.
