Kaapo Kakko has 2 points in last 17 games

[ViD]

And both points scored in the same game, so that makes points once in 17.

In what I’ve seen from him this season, he’s been pretty mediocre, had trouble finishing and seems hesitant to pass, takes the puck behind the net a lot.

Disappointing rookie season for him so far.

He’s really kakkoing the bed so far.

Not every #2 OA is Evgeni Malkin. He'll be fine.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

matches his play. he's not an NHL caliber player at this point

 

[57special]

Hopefully he will be fine, but there is no doubt that he should've waited a year at least. Funny that so many insisted that he was ready.
Don't pick the fruit before its ripe!

 

[FoxyClean]

The Kaap has been staaped.

 

[Rangers79]

He's 18, I'm not concerned

 

[EdJovanovski]

Many top draft picks had stretches like this in their rookie seasons

 

[Ryan Michaels]

Yes but not every #2 OA is Kaapo Kakko, whose play is remarkable enough to warrant a different kind of discussion.

 

[SI90]

He’s 18.

 

[aufheben]

Needs a good offseason of training. He does look better now than in October. Can’t buy one.

 

[PWJunior]

He’s 18.

Haven't seen an 18 year old worse than Kakko in quite some time though.

 

[The don godfather]

Rangers unlucky with their picks lias kratzov now kakko . All 3 not showing their potential of where they were picked. Looks like the rebuild needs a rebuild.

Typically players get sent down for that kind of performance, but I guess Rangers keep him up because he’s 2nd overall pick

Who cares, they robbed us of a superstar and got him for free

Is it bad luck or is it the Rangers and their poor job of developing and handling their prospects?

Andersson trending down with apparent personal issues with the Rangers. Kravstov yo-yo'ing between the USA and Russia and back to the USA with poor results. Kakko should be in the AHL, but is being Nino'd in his astounding rookie year.

There seems to be something wrong in the water...

Kravtsov is in the AHL doing well. That’s all water under the bridge. Andersson was just a bad pick (which they made up for with Chytil).

He’s been inconsistent. He’s gone through stretches where he’s looked really good and then disappeared for while. If he wasn’t the 2nd overall pick I don’t think people would be making such a big deal. Same thing has happened with Jack Hughes this year.

I’m a bit surprised the Rags haven’t given him some extended time in the AHL.

 

[BusQuets]

And Jack Hughes has 4 points in the last 16 games. Not been a great season for the 2019 draft's top-2.

 

[kthx]

Skinner has 1 right? That's what 9 million?

Can you define 'doing well' because 4g 2a in 21 games doesn't seem very good for a 9th overall pick in his D+2 season.

 

[895]

Everytime someone brings up KK and Hughes disappointing seasons, someone has to chime in with "they're only 18".

Compared to other 1st and 2nd overall 18 year olds, their seasons are still disappointing.

Hughes is having maybe the worst first overall 18 year old season on two decades.

 

[ThirdEye]

Guess FL should've traded Barkov after his 30 point rookie season

 

[Shocker]

Both of the top picks should be in a different league.

Shame that they're getting bullied in the NHL just because of where they were picked.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

there is a legitimate argument that hes having the worst season of all time
