Rangers' Future with Kaapo Kakko 

Hey there! I just read about Kaapo Kakko's resurgence with the Rangers, and I have to say, it's about time! This kid has been through a lot since being drafted second overall in 2019, and it's great to see him finally finding his groove. The chemistry he's developed with Chytil and Cuylle is impressive, and it seems like they really complement each other's styles.

I think it's crucial for the Rangers to recognize Kakko's potential and not label him a bust just because he hasn't reached the heights of Jack Hughes. His ability to contribute to a line that’s outscoring opponents 9-0 at 5-on-5 is a testament to his growth. If he can keep this up, he could be a key piece for the Rangers moving forward, especially with the looming salary cap issues.

It's fascinating to see how the dynamics of the team are shifting. The Kreider-Zibanejad-Smith line hasn't been performing as expected, and it might be time for the coaching staff to give more responsibility to the younger line. If Kakko can continue to develop and produce, he could become that essential second-tier talent that every successful team needs.

What do you think? Do you believe Kakko can maintain this level of play throughout the season?
