MSG Network analyst Joe Micheletti talks with The Post’s Justin Terranova about the Rangers’ potential, New York’s impending love affair with Kaapo Kakko, and what will make or break Jack Hughes’ rookie season.

Q: How difficult is it to lay out expectations for this Rangers team after so many changes?
A: They added some certainties. (Jacob) Trouba is a top-four defender, will eat up those minutes and be on your power play. You add (Artemi) Panarin and that obviously changes the whole dynamic, because he’s a fabulous player.
