5 points in 6 games on the most productive 3rd line in the league. Likely his last season with the Rangers. He probably prices himself out here
At least if @ICanMotteBelieveIt slights him again5 points in 6 games on the most productive 3rd line in the league. Likely his last season with the Rangers. He probably prices himself out here
Hahaha, Kakko won't score 50 points this season .At least if @ICanMotteBelieveIt slights him again
If Kakko finally pulls it together, they arent trading him. Plenty of other things to do to fit him. It’s not like he would be getting anywhere near 6M anyway unless he scores 65 points.5 points in 6 games on the most productive 3rd line in the league. Likely his last season with the Rangers.

Rangers have to pay Shesterkin, Lafreniere, Miller, Cuylle all before Kakko. The only big chunks of cap for sure leaving are Smith Lindgren.

They can all fit under the cap. Miller isnt playing like a 6M defenseman, and Cuylle will get a bridge deal.Rangers have to pay Shesterkin, Lafreniere, Miller, Cuylle all before Kakko. The only big chunks of cap for sure leaving are Smith Lindgren. Kakko is a cap casulty

Big brain move would be to sell high on Kreider in the offseason and refill the pipeline with some defensemen (obv i’d rather trade other vets over him but he has a team friendly contract and only a 10 team NTC in July)
I don't see why a team would give up a first for him when they could potentially draft and develop a better player without giving up anything.
Kaapo being held on to this long when he needed to be moved sooner is unfortunate but his draft position means very little in actual value to others at this point whereas it just means more for the rangers and the ego attached to it.
In 5 seasons since his draft the best he's done is 18 goals and 40pts and has failed to reach at least 20pts in 3 of those seasons.
What Jesse Puljujarvi went for to Carolina is what the value likely is and Jesse is similar in production to a player like Kaapo.

This… 3rd line tweeners don’t garner a ton of value.Teams aren’t giving you much. He’s arbitration eligible in the summer
better luck at flipping similarage contract players
