Just like Tolvanen, a change of situation was good for him.

Plenty of players can have a hot 15 games.
That's a horrendous trade for NYRRangers also used the space from Kakko to pick up Arthur Kaliyev for free, and his producing the same as Kakko was, from his same spot , so really, Rangers arent feeling any loss on-ice. Its not as if Kakko was going to score those 13 points if he were still here.
You can look at this less as a trade and more as In vs Out, so thats Kakko <-> Kaliyev+Borgen+3rd+6th
At the end of the day, its a 'players need a change of scenery' trade with some add-ons to balance it out

Yea but could have got a better then borgen and some dart picks. Horrible return.Rangers also used the space from Kakko to pick up Arthur Kaliyev for free, and his producing the same as Kakko was, from his same spot , so really, Rangers arent feeling any loss on-ice.

Watch now laf gets traded for miller now. Drury has to be on the lower tier of gm out there.

I'm hung up on the fact because he's a very good player. He showed that on the rangers and is showing it now that f***in finally has a coaching staff that believes in him.Considering we're playing our best hockey of the season and Kakko was a good 3rd liner for us nothing horrendous about it. People are just hung up on his draft position. Funny thing is same people were calling him a bust not too long ago. It was a trade that benefited both teams. And people only think it's horrendous for the Rangers because they're stuck in 2019. I know Borgen is not a big name but he has stabilized our D significantly.

Let's see as it stands right now it seems seattle gm did a number on drury here. Almost a point a game just wow.Considering we're playing our best hockey of the season and Kakko was a good 3rd liner for us nothing horrendous about it.

I love how when Laf and Kakko are on the Rangers. They're awful busts. If and when they get traded Drury is an awful GM. Look at the Rangers' record since they got Borgen who has played a big role in the D's and team's resurgence. Kakko is a good player but he is more name than player. Players playing well right out of the gate after being traded is a tale as old as time. Look at his line's shooting percentage. It's not sustainable.

How can anyone defend this trade you gave a 2nd overall young talented player for a guy named borgen and 2 shot in the dart picks. If you had held kk he might have been used as a asset to get a guy like ep40 or jt miller. You essentially gave him up for nothing. I think drury panicked and wanted him out fast and west so nobody in the east can hear from again. This all screams panic trade to me. Would love to take a poll here and see if my view is right on this.Yeah and Ryan Spooner and Andrew Copp were also almost PPG players right after they got traded here. Kakko's line is having an unsustainable shooting percentage. 14 games (or 16 now) is not a credible sample size to lose your mind over. Rangers haters were just waiting in the weeds for a hot string of games for Kakko. It's hilarious.

He did, and left New YorkFunny how now that he's not a Ranger, he's all of a sudden a "very good player". Instead of an all time bust. He's never been anything more than a 3rd liner and likely will never be more than a middle 6er on any team. A hot 14 games doesn't change that. Borgen has been good for the Rangers and we got other assets. I'm sleeping like a baby with this trade. Both teams got good players. Even trade. People just can't get past his 2nd overall pick status. And are acting like he's something he's not.
BTW, when 3 coaching staffs don't believe in you maybe it's time to look in the mirror.

Better question, why aren't they souring on no shows like Zib and Panarin.It's not really a coincidence that 3 coaching staffs soured on him. Two of the coaches being respected guys.
Nonsense wish my Bruins beat that offer what a tilted trade that was . It's too bad rags didnt wanna send him east cause they knew it could bite them back in the arse and sure did. Hard .Because he was a 2nd overall in 2019? Maybe we should blame teams for trading Yakupov for nothing as well. He has never played anywhere close to 2nd overall status. Also, you have no f***ing clue what you're talking about? Just because you don't recognize a guy's name you think he sucks. Borgen has been a more valuable piece on the Rangers this year than Kakko. He's played a big role in settling down the defense and letting Miller play his game. Once again you're blinded by draft position and name recognition and have no clue what you're talking about.
