Somehow the Rangers have become the biggest tire fire in a league that includes the Buffalo Sabres.

DAMNIT. We could have gotten a 3rd pair D++ for Jesse!?
In all seriousness though, Jesse's hips were broken. The only issue with Kakko is that he plays with a mini-stick.

I, for one, did not expect this much entertainment leading up to my favourite hockey time of year (WJCs). Thank you Drury!

They will never be that big of a tire fire, because it's New York City. Management understands this, they will always be a destination, no matter how ruthless they treat their players.
Call this season a write off, ship out the guys who no longer want to be there, and go into the offseason with capspace to bring in top players that will jump to play at MSG 41 games of the year.

They are both good. Have a way to go before I'd call them standouts. At one point it seemed like guys like Seider, Knight, Zegras, etc.. were all going to be stars and potential franchise level players.
I'd say McMichael looks like the next potential standout from 2019 though. Hopefully he keeps it up.

Since the rangers are just giving away everyone might as well send k'andre miller to the wings while they're at it

I think they’re going to have to offer every significant UFA a full NMC moving forward as long as this regime is in charge.

It's about what I expected. They just had their expectations too high. He was never going to get a first rounder or a good young player.
I think Kakko is actually a pretty solid player. And Drury has been playing his hand face-up since the beginning of the season...
BUT! This deal is pretty decent for both sides. Kakko wanted out. Drury got back a couple of picks and a guy who credibly played top-four minutes the last two seasons (he's struggled this year) for a project player.
It's a decent gamble for Seattle on a player with some previous promise. They were letting Borgen walk regardless at the end of the season.

That is gross. That is under his value. Panic trade from Drury.
Kakko may never reach his potential, but I really don't like this trade.

People like you were calling Kakko a certified bust not capable of returning a 7th rounder, now that he's no longer a Ranger you're entire tune has changed.
f***ing clown-world.

This is true. They will always have a huge advantage over their competition with their unfettered access to talent. Makes it all the more hilarious what a tire fire that organization has always been despite the huge advantage.
