Confirmed Trade: [SEA/NYR] Kaapo Kakko for Will Borgen, 2025 3rd, 2025 6th

Looks Seattle might just got a franchise player for peanuts folks. Kakko pops another one in. This is becoming spicy.

I think most knowledgeable people knew how kakko got screwed in NYR and would be a good player for Seattle, if he's finally given opportunity and organizational belief.

That's the beauty of the Kraken management - they believe in every single player that they can find a sweater for.

Too bad the Flames didn’t take a swing

Really hard to believe a lot of teams couldn't have topped that deal.

Reminds me of the Phaneuf trade. It was bad the day it was announced lol

This was such an obvious win for anyone who acquired him. Too bad he was forced out west.

Happy for Kakko. He was not going to succeed in NY. Some players just need new scenery.

Your 2nd overall turned into ash, what is there to understand? Copium is strong with this one.

He’s not “my” 2nd overall. I really don’t care about Kakko and wish him success. The ridiculous idea that the Rangers are this destitute island where anyone under the age of 23 goes to have their careers intentionally ruined is what I’m pushing back on. If you don’t have anything else to add, feel free to troll elsewhere.

This guy Don is a joke. I remember when they traded Sammy Blais he was pumping his tires like he was an all-star. Notorious NYR hater tread carefully

Way to go Finland boy !

I'm not trolling, those are clear and undisputed facts in case of Kakko, who this thread is about. I don't care about what the rangers and do and cannot do. Excuses hardly matter.
