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

[Machinehead]

He's better than Mancini! That's something!

 

[mas0764]

Love the beat saying the Rangers have been after Borgen for a long time, like that makes it better. Also why the f*** have they been after Will Borgen for years?

Cause they are idiots.

Kinda insane Drury refused to add him into a deal for Guentzel at the trade deadline just to trade him for return like this.

I'd rather this than 2 months of Jake.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

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 U C K that. We need FIVE more roster pieces gone before March, zero exaggeration, period.

I'm not going to watch another game until Chris Drury is gone. Hit Dolan in the wallet. That's when he'll start giving a shit.

 

[UnSandvich]

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.

lol. lmao even. I've read some stupid takes, but this is one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this site.

GMs in hockey love pining over JAGs for 5 years then overpaying for them in trades

 

[Boom Quack]

And the sky isn't blue

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Buchnevich was one of the worst trades we've made in recent history

Drury...hold my glass

 

[Rangerboy030]

Of course we've been targeting a big meathead D who couldn't get out of defensive zone if he was the only player on the goddamn ice.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Right? If they wanted Borgen so much, they could've tossed like a fourth rounder Seattle's way. They're acting like he's the Holy Grail. Will f***ing Borgen.

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.

Vaakanainen is better than Borgen. If we just let him play and get Miller back, that's probably the best D they've iced all year (not saying much but still).

Cool. We will still suck very, very much.

This makes us a weaker team up front for sure.

Borgen sucks worse than Kakko ever did.

 

[Miz]

I hope Drury can take that 3rd and 6th rounder and turn it into another useful player like Reilly Smith...

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Le F*ck

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Over drafted. Not his fault but again, shows the failure of our front office.

Young assets for peanuts isn't how winners are built.

How was drafting him a failure when he was the consensus #2 overall pick?

 

[mas0764]

is not a worse GM in the NHL than Chris Drury. Not one. I don't care what our records were the last couple of seasons. The vast majority were JD/Gorton players.

Get rid of this bum.

 

[bleedblue94]

Kreider should be gone tomorrow.

I kind of hope they play Dallas and kreider stays there after the game.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Don’t see how this makes us better now or in the future.

Another bad trade on Drury’s resume. It’s past time to keep defending this guy. But it doesn’t matter because he’s Dolan/Sather’s next man up.

Truly rough days ahead.

absolutely disagree - are you kidding?

 

[Charlie Conway]

Pretty brutal trade. Even though Kakko has never been what was expected, I still expected more than this.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

He's better than Mancini! That's something!

Is he better than Mancini in a Ranger uniform though?

 

[DanielBrassard]

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.

They had 6 NHL defenseman in the lineup last night, unfortunately Borgen is not an upgrade on any of them.

 

[Rangerboy030]

We traded Jacob Trouba, and replaced him with... A worse version of Jacob Trouba.

 

[17futurecap]

Never forget we were ahead of Seattle at the time for waivers and could have claimed Eeli, instead we claimed Jake LeShit like a month later.
