New York Rangers prospect Kaapo Kakko is heading to the Big Apple

New York Rangers prospect Kaapo Kakko is heading to Broadway next week. The second-overall selection in the 2019 NHL Draft is ready to start the next chapter in his hockey career.

The 18-year-old has been working out in Turku, Finland throughout the summer. He spoke with Iltalehti, a Finnish website, last Friday about what he has done this summer and his expectations prior to his trip to the city that never sleeps.

“Strong and speed I have invested, and I think I’ve gone ahead yes”, Kakko said as his interview was translated by Google translate.
