Around the NHL - 2024-25 season.

So... Kakko to the Kraken, for Wo;; Borgen, a 3rd and a 6th

Absolutely god awful return, but I think this means teams think either he's problematic or he'll never be more than a 3rd liner, or else someone would have offered more, including Conroy.

I said Solovyov and a 2nd and that’s even worse than that wow. We should have been in for that price

Wasn’t Borgen decent in their inaugural season? Is he pretty well useless now? Like if they 100% wanted an NHL ready RD in the deal the best we could have done is Miromanov and I’m not sure that’s what they need

But if Borgen is trash now the point is moot anyway because we should have been able to beat that draft capital

My money is on problematic.

I'd be more disappointed if he was a centre.

 

[crackdown44]

Sheesh he’s a pending UFA too? Worse than I thought for the rags

 

[Volica]

Was Conroy sleeping? Or were we too busy planning the parade already?

Come on man. Calgary. That’s nothing. That’s absolutely nothing for a guy with potential.

That looks like a panic move. Rangers took the first offer that looked even remotely passable, and didn't bother to talk to other teams, because they wanted to get rid of Kakko asap.

I dunno, there have been rumors about them wanting to make a move for weeks now, and Kakko always made the most sense to move as he's not in their top 6 and in theory his potential would bring a return. But I think his comments may have cause teams to lose interest because they may view him as a problem, teams and most players don't like when a guy throws everyone else under the bus.

Rangers turning a 2nd overall into a 3rd a 6th and 6-7 defender.

You love to see it.

Yes, I think its related to the latter part you said. Rangers wanted to get something for him, before teams lose their interest even more.

Something about the recent comments he made must have rubbed teams the wrong way. Like ADA or Georgiev levels of wrong way.

I have no clue if these concerns are valid, but the brutal package for him might be a clue into this.

His Wiki says he has experience playing centre. If the attitude problem stuff is accurate, then I'm not as upset. That kind of thing can divide a room and cause a team to play lower than the sum of its parts.
