Kappo traded to Seattle for a 27 year old defenseman who was drafted in the 4th round in 2015 with awful performance metrics and two magic beans that will almost certainly turn out to be nothing. Where’s the poster who told me New York would be insane to part with Kakko for Lapierre?

How does this somehow validate your proposal? It didn’t happen did it?

It’s a pretty light return I think but part of that is because it’s to a far western conference team. They were not going to trade Kaako to the caps.

Furthermore I never said Kaako was super valuable, I said Lapierre isn’t that valuable.

They seemed eager to move him out of here before the Dec 20 trade freeze. Also, other than Vancouver by a close shave, not really possible to move him farther away from NYC than Seattle. So, yeah, message delivered I guess

Wasn’t it “Lappiere has no value”?

I don’t think I said that but feel free to prove me wrong

I don't know why people should be surprised by this. Kakko is working on his 6th season as a bottom sixer in this league. GMs don't care as much about his draft position as people on HF do.

Can’t find the post…..don’t care enough to look further. Maybe you changed or deleted it?

Hilariously awful in every way for the Rags.

I still don't understand what Seattle is doing. While the value itself is fine they've built an entire team full of really good third liners.

I'm a fan of Chytil's, but I think the Eller acquisition likely closes the door on that one.

With Chytil being signed for 2 more seasons having Eller shouldn't really stop them from making a good deal for the long haul if they can. But it certainly isn't an area of need now, you'd be right on that.

It's funny when teams refuse to trade in-division.

I would love to trade in-division! You trade to make your team better and likely make the other team worse! I'd love to make another division team worse!

The Rags board is embracing the trade news even better than I expected.
