Well, if it means anything, Krav in his first 20 games proved himself to be more “nhl ready “ than Kakko ever did his first 20 games. At least eye test wise. Krav had a clear step while Kakko looked slow, indecisive, and no footwork whatsoever.
We have gone back and forth many times. Kakko in his first month in the nhl went to a Finnish reporter and said he’s bad, but also said he wishes he had a chance for a top 6 role and doesn’t want to hear how he’s the new guy. We all took that in stride because we were all so damn excited to get a pick we were told was nhl ready and will perform right away.
Krav acted like a child but then again, took the clause that was previously given to him to return to Russia. MSG used to hype his performances. He spent him time in the A. He did what he could. His camp now was a shame. He was hurt. We were told that’s why he didn’t make it until Gallant talk3d and said not my call. He then changed to say he was beaten out but mediocre nhl players that will never amount to anything in the bigs. Great. Krav goes home. Here we are.
fun!
