When training camp began for the New York Rangers at the training facility last week, 19 -yeard old Kaapo Kakko was on the ice with his New York Rangers teammates. His underlying medical condition has placed on the back burner with a pandemic virus on everyone’s mind.
Kakko and his Blueshirts are preparing to travel to Toronto and begin their quest for the Stanley Cup with a “win it all” attitude. The team’s 2nd overall selection in the 2018 NHL entry draft has been willing to participate in the unusual playoff format since the NHL’s Return to Play guidelines were released.
