24/25 Waivers/Rumors/TDL Thread.

Honestly with the way the Rangers have handled him, probably only a half decent prospect and a 3rd round pick. I would happily welcome that. I think he's got a legit shot to break out as a 2RW grindy scorer. Would be a heck of a fit with Marco IMO

yeah seems like we'd be buying low and he fits what the Wings want in the future, even if he never progresses much. I'd be all over it.

Half decent prospect would be Lombardi or something, which honestly that's a no for me.

Kakko for Veleno

One change of scenery guy for another.

I think we need to incentivize the rags on that trade

Both are underachieving former first round picks. Kakko isn't that much better of a winger where Veleno's "alleged" center playing ability doesn't pull him close enough that it's a wash. And another contract year under $2.5M for Joe has a hint of value. Kakko is arbitration eligible this coming summer.

And to add... Veleno is the limit of the assets I'm willing to burn on Kaapo f'n Kakko...

Also, kaako just threw his coach and half the team under a bus because he got sat. Nyr might be pretty motivated to move him.

Kappo f’n kakko has an 18 goal and 40 point season under his belt and is on pace for another 40 point season while “underachieving.”

I’d love to be wrong on this but I don’t see the rangers pulling the trigger Veleno for Kakko straight up.
