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

[SA16]

Take Kakko out of the equation, what round pick would we have had to give for Borgen? 4th?

Certainly not, considering they've apparently been interested in him for a while and if it just took a 4th why wouldn't they have just done that over a week ago? Someone already posted the comparable dmen deadline deals and they are all like at least a 3+5

Wonder what happens when Miller is back. They would have 8 NHL D, I guess they could run with it but I wonder if a Lindgren trade is more likely sooner than later.

Lindgren trade in the next 24 hours.

 

[zlev]

i bet they dont trade Lindgren and then extend him

 

[bobbop]

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

 

[ArPanet]

Wouldn’t surprise to learn Borgen and Kakko have the same agent.

 

[haveandare]

This really bums me out

RIP king.

Agreed. I somehow am even less enthusiastic about this team that I was this morning. Lower than my all time low in caring. Drury is an actual idiot and a huge part of what’s wrong here. He needs to go.

About the only positive from this trade is the Rangers replenishing some of their draft pick pool after trading away so many picks in recent years. These picks likely won't do anything for them in the next few years, but it's always good to keep filling up the draft pick pool, if you're going to have high end contracts, you need cheap ELCs (hopefully fully developed or at least developing) to fill out the roster. Yes the cap is going up, but it's good to have flexibility.

The Rangers bleeped up Kakko's development, though I'm not absolving him of any blame. He starred at the World Hockey Championships in his draft year, but it went all downhill from there. I had been a supporter of his and I wish him well with the Seattle Kraken.

I've barely even heard of Will Borgen, so I'll reserve judgement for now.

From what people have been saying all season, we barely had 3 -- where did we suddenly come up 8 NHLD?

They send Chad back to Hartford would be my guess

Probably

With the way we are playing and the way KK was going, had Drury waited another month we probably/definitely would have been looking at an even worse return.

Drury got the deal he could get and although we wanted more, market value is where he went.

Again, this place was full of Kakko sucks since this season started. Yet we expected to get a return commensurate with someone who doesn't suck. Dont work that way.

Hey Drury, your next move should be the dyed blonde guy or the DJsleepy

Realistically assuming we sell at the TDL which I think we will. Borgen gets moved at 50% retained for a 2nd and ultimately kakko was moved for a 2nd, 3rd and 6th.

 

[94leetch]

Is the organization a laughing stock yet?
I believe so.
Also, bringing Rempe up, I mean this from the bottom of my heart - why the hell not?
Is he going to hurt the team LOL?

 

[haveandare]

To be clear, Dolan was more upset about the Tom Wilson incident than his team becoming completely unwatchable and beyond unlikeable at every level to even the most diehard of fans?

Goodrow and Trouba were bad and overpaid but the manager is supposed to manage the team not just make decisions from a boardroom with no tact or care for the human beings on his team and how they might react. Kakko is cheap and actually good if not what we all hoped hed be and we just literally gave him away for barely more than absolutely nothing.

This guy is a garbage GM and is the first one that needs to go

Some notable 3rds from the past 15 years or so:

Fortescue
McConnell-Barker
Z. Jones
Buchnevich
Duclair
Fogarty

I’d be shocked if Borgen returned a 2nd at 100% retained

If he can accidentally get some of the unmovables onto the LTIR, he'll be our MVP.

Read JFresh synopsis of him. It's the opposite of marketable qualities

 

[ReddestRum]

This team and the moves management makes are truly pathetic.

 

[Machinehead]

They're not gonna extend anybody who doesn't already have one.

I can't speak to how well he'll execute it, but Drury has convinced me he's over this team.

 

[bleedblue94]

I love this trade bc we are worse this year so there's no pining to save the season. Personally this season is lost. Good teams can rebound from a slump but this team isn't good and it is fractured. This season is lost so start a culture remake, trade out the cancers, start turning this over.

 

[Greg02]

Was now really the time when we could get the highest value for Kakko rather than the deadline or the draft?

That said, it would be very funny if Kakko was actually the problem in the locker room and they start winning.

He was over it this summer.

Pretty confident that how he’ll execute it is “terribly”
