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

easily best player, by far marginBest player in his draft - its embarrassing that Jeff Gorton moved him

Ah yes, the insufferable Billy Corgan.Smashing Pumpkins frontman IIRC
Rangers looked pretty damn good to me before the Trouba trade and the 92/8 contract.The Kakko trade was terrible, but what do you mean the Trouba trade was horrible? The Rangers got a (better, cheaper) 6 D and a pick for Trouba without retaining a dime. That's phenomenal value
isnt it interesting that you have no idea what youre talking about? Kakko started on the 1st line every year - he lost the spot. He’s had streaks like this before. Relax.Almost a point per game playing on a new team, on their first line. During the year 2025 thus far, he also leads the team in scoring with 10 points in 9 games. Also, for the record, his xGF% is 53.53% when #2 on Kraken is at 50.46% and his 5on5 PDO is only 1.012 and his offensive zone start % is only 41.38% meaning he's mainly been receiving defensive assignments.
Isn't it interesting how on Rangers he was kept on the 3rd line and lamented for his lack of production, but now that he plays on the first line for Seattle Kraken, he has first line production? And let's recall Rangers treated him as a cap dump for the trade, receiving negative value, and he's a 23yo RFA.
Lol just stop youre cluelessRangers looked pretty damn good to me before the Trouba trade and the 92/8 contract.
I wouldn't call it ood value going from a contender to a borderline playoff team. Maybe Trouba was respected in the locker room, even he had his flaws on the ice.
