Thread: Risto and Kakko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Csick123</b></div><div>Im hearing that the fact Hughes was a centre gave him an advantage to go at 1 but ive seen some mocks with kakko at 1. I hear the fact that Kakko could play transition to centre has teams interested taking him at 1</div></div>

I don't know. Hughes is still very talented. I think the question is whether he'll be able to play C at the NHL level. His size is an issue in that sense. Kakko just looks legit to me. Potentially another Teemu Selanne for us (in as much as they are both Fins and very good players - not expecting Kakko to have the same level of career as Teemu).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojme</b></div><div>Definitely don't want henrique because of his age. He'll be 30 and getting paid for 5 more years. Don't need another okposo. Kase is intriguing though.</div></div>

Fair enough. In defense of Henrique, he'd make for an excellent 3C. He's a 2-way C who consistently produces with limited minutes and by "produces" I mean he scores goals. I understand your concerns though. He's about to get (slightly) overpaid, and his game is only going to go one way as he ages. With that said, what would the add be to Kase for Risto?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>austinjackson</b></div><div>Terrible trade for BUF, don't think they would make that deal even they weren't sending a 2nd along with Risto.....not sure how you think that would work. Seems like a real homer trade to me</div></div>

Well, I did give my reasoning in the description. Maybe Henrique isn't of interest, but Kase is an explosive young talent with a very bright future. Am I mistaken in thinking that BUF fans had soured on Risto.
