[Gurglesons]

Sicccccccccccccccck.

Whistles have been put away.

[ColePens]

US urgency has been quite an issue in the d-zone. And it pays for Kakko.

 

[td_ice]

Nice goal by the Fins there. Not much time left.

 

[ColePens]

Bummer. Good effort. Good fight. Fins deserved it.

 

[td_ice]

Congrats to the Fins, they made the most of their chances. USA couldn't finish enough to get it done.

 

[Gurglesons]

Wonder what the Avs do if they get 2nd in the draft Kakko is pretty great, but do they need him?

 

[LOGiK]

Hughes play? If so how'd he look.

They could use any semblance of secondary scoring. Whether that be a center or wing.

BPA.

Every. Single. Time.

 

[Gurglesons]

BPA.

Every. Single. Time.

Yeah, but I wonder if they move 2nd overall for something else. Like a center.

 

[Lustaf]

Yeah, but I wonder if they move 2nd overall for something else. Like a center.

Maybe they could get someone like Duchene

What center is available that's worth a potential franchise winger (or at least a high end one)? It's not like they can call up Toronto and swap the 2nd overall for Matthews or something.

They could trade down a couple of places and take Cozens or Dach.

But I don't think they should. That was my first time watching him and I thought Kakko looked a real difference maker. Getting that sort of next level talent was the dream from the moment it became clear this was a possibility.
