VANCOUVER, BC - Kaapo Kakko spoke with the media at the Top Prospects Media Availability on a boat in Cole Harbour on Thursday afternoon. He was asked a wide variety of topics in an interview with a large scrum of reporters.
He was first asked about Jack Hughes.
"He's a great player. So good skater. I like his game," Kakko said.
He also talked about playing in the NHL season and having the goal to do exactly that.
"It's my plan and my goal to play in the NHL next year," Kakko noted. "I need more strength, I need to go to the gym and then I'm ready."
Most of the interview was done in English. He talked about having to learn the language, which he has been doing throughout the season.
