In this video, we delve into the incredible comeback story of Kaapo Kakko, who has transformed his career following a pivotal trade from the New York Rangers to the Seattle Kraken. Once hailed as the 2nd overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, Kakko faced challenges during his time with the Rangers, recording only 4 goals and 10 assists in 30 games, resulting in an underwhelming 0.46 points per game.
However, everything changed when he joined the Kraken. In just 21 games, Kakko has already notched 5 goals and 11 assists, elevating his performance to an impressive 0.76 points per game.

What do you think of Kaapo Kakko's sudden surge in his career?
He looks like a great piece for us, and I'm glad others agree.
I think a desire for a contract extension might have a bit more to do with it. 🏒🍸
I also knew, hes a good player, but surely nyr wasnt his team. Im excited to c, if this has been just a warm up, and can he actually produce even more, after he gain more confidence!
I'm happy for him that he's finally being appreciated somewhere. I can only hope for him that he plays good hockey now.
If anything, he has a great name and fun to say
