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

[Machinehead]

I'm gonna like Borgen based on how much you hate him.

He hasn't left his own zone in about two years, so yeah, he's your type.

 

[inranger94]

“Kaap”? !!?

Said by no Ranger fan ever.

Even fkkd him over with the send off lol

Surprised they even spelled his name right

 

[Rangerboy030]

We are witnessing Act One of Dark Ages 2 - Electric Boogaloo.

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

 

[McRanger92]

Drury’s on a vendetta now.

Settling the family business. As an Irishman in the pizza making business, you may not like his methods but he's getting the job done.

 

[mas0764]

How could we trade a champion like Kakko!

Yeah, giving away a solid middle six player at 23 years old is moronic.

So he is another Lindgren? Great times!

 

[CLW]

22% of Borgen's career goals are against the Devils. This was obviously an analytics based trade.

Plus Borgen's ex-Buffalo.

How are the Rangers a better team today?

 

[McRanger92]

I believe this because Drury always said good things about him and Kakko never actually demanded a trade

 

[LionsHeart]

I’ll always respect that one of his last acts as a Ranger was standing up for himself against the organization. Go find a new scapegoat.

 

[mas0764]

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.

 

[Filip Chytil]

 

[Machinehead]

This, I believe. You don't trade a guy in 24 hours on a reaction.

I also absolutely believe that the Rangers really like Borgen. He's Beukeboom 9.0.

 

[LokiDog]

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.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Depth d for Kakko is stupendous value ....lol
This is why I want Drury gone.
I'm counting about 10 losses coming in the next 13 or 14 games and that's generous

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Yeah and I am also the king of Switzerland and Sweden

 

[mas0764]

Drury

Making things personal because he’s a douchebag.

He has a history of acting in a way people are finding unprofessional. Started with Kravtsov.

 

[Filip Chytil]

 

[McRanger92]

"Rangers are a better team today"

The f*** they are

They are closer to having 6 NHL defenseman once again and Brodzisnki is as good as Kakko on a game to game basis. Call up Rempe to replace him.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

LOL. Now Drury cares about his players? FOH. He did the same thing with Buchnevich and set this franchise back.

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.
