Confirmed with Link: [SEA/NYR] Kaapo Kakko for Will Borgen + 3rd + 6th

[DanielBrassard]

A player who stands the blue line? What sorcery is that?

It helps that he can skate, which I must admit I wasn’t aware of. But he’s going to be the best skating defenseman on the team so that’s a nice change of pace.

(late to the party on this one)

So Kaako is the equivalent of the child sacrifice to the hockey gods? The scapegoat for the stupidity of the elders.

Fukk me. This franchise is so broken.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Borgen was pretty good the last two years. Not so much this year.

Perhaps a new borgening is just what he needs

 

[Cmox]

The only thing I'll miss is Sam dropping "KAAPO KAKKO!!"

Do they play Seattle again this season?

 

[NYR Viper]

Trade and extend is never at a bargain regardless of it’s a 3rd pairing or top guy

The answer is, it depends. Mikkola would have been a good re-signing. Sometimes these defensive d-men could be good guys to re-sign for reasonable term and cap hits. Especially to insulate some younger guys for a few years

It's going to impress Fox for sure.

Idk, he has holes, but he seems like he can move a little bit. Exit numbers are good and he can skate.

I'll let him cook as a Ranger before I crucify him. Plus BORGEN is already a fun meme.

I wanted something more impactful for Kakko but that's down to holding onto him too long. Drury should have been aggressive instead of hanging onto the breakout fantasy.

Execute that lesson now. It's just about time to shit or get off the pot with Othmann while he can fetch something.

Don't do that to me.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Big Willie absolutely needs to take #8.

Give the new guy the C too. Nothing to lose.

Kakko brings additional K's to the Kraken

For Sale:

#24 Rangers jersey.

Slightly soiled. Reeks of scapegoat and broken dreams.

Damn your dad jokes for making me literally laugh out loud when I want to be so pissed off about this stupid trade, haha.

Borgen will be immediately embraced by the veteran mafia in the locker room and will join the conspiracy against the Little League champion running the show. If Will refuses to join the veteran mafia, I hear Trocheck has blackmail material to coerce him into joining the crusade.

Kappo Kakko Kraken

Yep, the 'ol triple....

Use it to upholster a bench and put it in the man cave as a meta/irony piece.

 

[will1066]

Borgen and Vaakanainen dominating practice while Fox, Lindgren, Schneider, Jones, hurt Miller all standing on the side like envious nerds at the prom.

"Wow look at him go!"

"Look at the first pass. I wish I could that."

"Don't look at me, Ryan. You suck too."

"Zac, stop pinching me. "

How is it you get away with so much "mod begging"?

Yep, the 'ol triple....

Damn. They'll be making me nervous anytime they post a clean sheet...

 

[Filip Chytil]

Kreider for the corpse of Emerson Etem and a 4th round pick

Drury says: "Sign me up"

 

[NCRanger]

3 is vacant and what he wore in Seattle. Do James Patrick proud.

Harry Howell says hi.

 

[Jack Hanson]

This is what happens when Drury plays 3d chess while smoking crack

At first glance this trade stinks but if they’re able to flip Borgen at the deadline for a 2nd or 3rd I’ll feel a lot better about it. That would be 3 picks for a 3rd line winger who both sides agree would be best to move on from each other. It was clear this relationship was over so what he brings to the team is kind of irrelevant at this point.
