Looks to me to be a pretty shit return.

There's a thing that sometimes happens with young players that they break out after being moved the first time and this could very much happen here. A year from now this could look like Rick Middleton for Ken Hodge bad.....very much the worst trade the Rangers have made in my 50+ years of watching the team. This could go that bad.

For a bottom pairing d-man in his rental season and a 3rd and 6th round pick. WTF. Even on its face if Kakko remains the same player he is now that's a poor deal. Shit trades like this get GM's fired.

Every coach benched Kakko to be fair. I love a good conspiracy but I don’t think this is one
Lavi and Drury could've went with "roster management" instead of "fresh legs" and Kakko probably doesn't say anything to the media.

Oh god did they mishandle this also?

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.
I agree with this but you DO NOT trade players for peanuts.

You can't convince me (& I wasn't a lover of KK) that we couldn't get at least a 2nd for him???

This is bonkers BS GM TAMPERING SHIT

The guy can’t skate. Rempe is a much better skater than Kakko. Borgen + Rempe in, Kakko out and they are a much faster team overall.
 
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
Hes was basically the 7th d with his old club, and he might be the 7th d here when Miller returns.

lol kakko is twenty f***ing three. 3rd line solid defensive wing you can sign modestly, only upside, and you get rid of him for nothin.

this kid was not part of the problem. some of you hated him for no reason. boggles the mind.
People waited their whole lives for a pick like that, and picks of that caliber have altered and even rebirthed franchises.

Ours was Kaapo Kakko.

That's valid enough reason.
 
People freaking out about Borgen haven’t seen him play. He’s going to be a good addition to that 3rd pairing. If he fits, it’s possible Drury extends him at a very reasonable price.
"If he fits" doesn't sound like a exciting endorsement.

I will openly admit to having not seen him play.

You feel we made a hockey trade here???

I'll watch with no agenda, but Kakko, despite not even being a player I held in high regard is not someone I would've dealt for this player. Not close.
