When you add in that you are trading one of the fastest skaters for one of the slowest, what are people seeing in Kakko?

The same things I saw with Laf when I was arguing we should trade for him last season Summer he broke out, while people were saying he’s a bust.
We don’t want Kakko for what he’s done in poor circumstances, we want him for the potential upside if we can get him out of those poor circumstances.
It’s exactly what Florida got in the Bennett move after we screwed the pooch with him here.
I’d hope Conroy could pull Kakko from NYR for something like Coleman though, rather than Pospisil.
