My money is on problematic.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 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.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.
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.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.

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.

I'd be more disappointed if he was a centre.
Meh
What does Kakko do at an above average NHL level? I really don't see a single attribute that suggests he has much further upside than what he has shown. The one thing we absolutely don't need at the moment or in the future is another left shot middle six winger.
Save the assets and identify other pieces better suited for the organization. I also think Borgen holds more value than fans around here think he does even if he's having a real tough start to this season.
I like Denis Gauthier, but man, I thought I was alone. To me he was one of the few good things about the Young Guns eraWatching Canada play Czechs right now, didn't know that Ethan Gauthier was Denis's son...Man I miss that guy!
It was the Bennet trade we got him inI watch a lot of Habs games because I live in Quebec but that kid that the panthers threw in in the Tkachuk deal that we then threw in in the Toffoli trade, Heineman, is actually pretty good
Hey, he was a good depth guy, but man oh man, he could lay a helluva hipcheck! Loved that he often did it vs the Oilers on a Saturday night too!I like Denis Gauthier, but man, I thought I was alone. To me he was one of the few good things about the Young Guns era
Ah f*** me, I was thinking of Todd Simpson when I said thatHey, he was a good depth guy, but man oh man, he could lay a helluva hipcheck! Loved that he often did it vs the Oilers on a Saturday night too!
Had to look up his HDB pic, brought a smile to my face!
Then I remembered Ville Niemenin and got an even bigger smile!
Man, time flies...
