Kaapo Kakko 13 points in 14 games after getting traded from NYR to SEA

Good for him that he’s able to prosper after playing for the NHL equivalent of the abusive rich spouse.

It seems to me Kakko was mainly traded because he criticized the Rangers organization and not because they were looking to improve the team.

Best player in his draft - its embarrassing that Jeff Gorton moved him

It seems to me Kakko was mainly traded because he criticized the Rangers organization and not because they were looking to improve the team.

And he criticized them because they were not utilizing him properly.

I'd hold my horses. He's looking good right now but sometimes there's a honeymoon phase with the new team. However, he does have the talent and he himself said that it's all about confidence for him. He felt like the Rangers didn't trust him and he needed to play mistake free hockey. In Kraken, they're telling him he's good and they're willing to give him the minutes even if he makes a mistake here and there. He's feeling it and performing. Let's see if it can last.

It was robbery even if kakko wasn’t a ppg. Kakko is a good defence forward. He was also too young to give up on so easily. The gm I’m New York should be fired. The Trouba trade was horrible. This trade is even worse.

Im a Winnipeg fan and he looked really good when the Kraken played the Jets. I think its always been there for him but he has been immersed in a problematic hockey culture in NYR that is boiling over. I think the Kraken got a very good young player to build with.

I expect the cooking to continue for Kakko. They play Buffalo today so that should keep some ice open for opportunities... Notice for all of you fantasy managers...
