Proposal: Kappo Kakko for Jayden Struble + NJ 3rd

[samsagat]

The NYR are short in defensemen, with Lindgren injury.

Particularly LHD.
Even with Lindgren, some more depth on the left side wouldn't be a luxury for the Rangers.

MTL need offense, with Laine apparently out long term.
Kakko isn't really an offensive contributor as of now, but MTL are in a position to bet on those kind of gambles.

Meh, I'm not really crazy about this, but wouldn't be too upset about it either.

 

[Jee]

Yeah sure why not

 

[Lockin17]

Sure i'll say yes from the Habs side.

 

[GAGLine]

Easy no from the Rangers. No point in trading him unless we're getting back something of actual value. Struble and a 3rd isn't it.

 

[Dfence033]

Can’t see the Rangers having any interest in this.

 

[Fatass]

Is Kakko a guy the Habs would want?

Why are the Habs as a bottom team trying to plug holes in the present team by trading futures. This is nonsense.

I could see a deal like this happen but I don't think the Habs add that high if a pick if they even add at all.

1:1 or Strubble + a late pick (5-7th) seems more likely based on where the two players are at both performance -wise and cap/contract situations.

 

[sansabri]

if we need offense... why again would we look at Kakko

 

[One Winged Angel]

No way the Rangers do this.

A lot of fans are very impatient. I'm with you though this is nonsense.

 

[Xirik]

Wouldn't that 3rd turn into a 2nd in Allen plays 40 games?

Kakko and Struble are the same age...

Wouldn't that 3rd turn into a 2nd in Allen plays 40 games?

Ho yeah, maybe you're right.

MTL have three 3rd rounders in 2025 anyway so it will be another one.

You won't get much more than this for Kakko.

He had 19 pts in 61 games last year and he's not seen as a young prospect anymore.

 

[samsagat]

Cause we're not in a position to pay something big in order to acquire some.

We're still rebuilding and Struble for Kakko is an "abundance vs need" type of trade.

If MTL didn't pay 1st+ for both Dach and Newhook that would hold a lot more weight

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Lmao no from Rangers.

You won't get much more than this for Kakko.

He had 19 pts in 61 games last year and he's not seen as a young prospect anymore.

He’s 23 years old…before last years leg injury he had 40 points in 80 games. We’ll hold him thanks.

 

[Albatros]

So why trade him at all?
