Someone had to fall on the sword. It is what it is. I'll take the picks and they needed size on defense. They'll probably look to extend Borgen as a bottom pair guy.

Kakko got a raw deal at times but also never grasped the opportunities. Seems like a guy that NY was too big for. There's a very real chance he's the next Puljujaarvi, but i personally hope he does well in Seattle.

Rangers are a better team today but we will see where that gets Drury. He should make another trade before the roster freeze. Lindgren out because you just backfilled him with a guy who is not a punching bag.

"Rangers are a better team today"

The f*** they are

This is such a blah return and I don't believe for a second there wasn't a targeted market for where nyr would ship him, as in they would not send him to certain places.

Borgen is such a meh player, him coming in says someone else is going out. Don't think it's just lindgren.

Drury did the obvious thing and went after kakko, but the vets are where this battle will happen. I'm indifferent until that actually trade an impactful vet and not just the usual or expected names.

Kreider should be gone tomorrow.

I am literally, truly, once and for all, about 10 days from never supporting this team again.

And I have never given a f*** about Kakko. He’s been a weak, disappointing pansy ass on the ice since day 1. This trade is just SO bad. Either get a mid 2nd or a change of scenery candidate. Instead you got quantity with zero value and no quality.

And they’ll probably act as if this is actually a shakeup and stand pat for a bit. Absolutely f*** that. We need FIVE more roster pieces gone before March, zero exaggeration, period.

I mean the good thing is this probably makes the team worse (or at best the same), so if they actually stand pat they're about to get f***ing torched with the upcoming schedule which will lead us into Feb/March in the cellar.
