Yup, we got another Jack Hughes versus Kaapo Kakko article in the books. This is literally all New Jersey Devils fans are talking about, especially since they just went one on one in the preliminaries of the IIHF World Championships. Of course, we didn’t get the fight we hoped for, with Team USA playing Hughes a paltry seven minutes in an overtime game. Those are Cam Janssen numbers.
Meanwhile, Kaapo Kakko is the best thing his team has. Finland isn’t exactly known has a hockey factory. Kakko is playing with nobodies, so he’s forced to play top-line minutes.
