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

Well, Kakko got some 6 on 5 time down 3-1.

Progress

He was… not good

He is a net front player in the NHL. I've been saying that for years. That's how he would do well in the NHL.

KK played a lot of shifts but not a lot of time. Not sure if that is his decision or a fluke.

Kappo was over rated on here. I honestly am not that upset over this trade and could see it working out if Borgen plays well. He could be the perfect partner for Jones.

Now if they trade and upgrade Lindgren the defense will be light years better. Berard showed more in his limited time then Kappo in the last few years.

Kakkos bread n butter will be around the net... he does not have much else.

Seattle has zero offensive creativity whatsoever. That was a painful hockey game to watch. Kakko had one off the post but that was a very choppy game for his line and team as a whole.

It's one game, but it looks nothing like we lost an asset or anything. Saw the same things when he was here. Pushed off the puck, not playing uptempo, slow reactions. None of these things are system related. Got bodied by Taylor Hall late on the half wall. Just nothing that says dynamic from him. Almost flew the zone while his mates were on D in one instance. Bylsma and staff have a reno project on their hands.

I hate you.
Hahahaha.

Was thinking the same. Chicago wasn't much better. You can't "only" play fast. Speed for the sake of speed to the point it becomes manic (and sloppy in this case). Is this the direction analytics is pushing the game? Brings to mind Datsyuk saying that speed will kill the game. Hakstol was probably too systematic, this current approach goes to another extreme - both end up sterile. I guess Seattle are at a point where they can afford to experiment with styles but this also looks pretty stillborn.

The GDT on the Kraken sub had more Rangers fans than Seattle fans in it

 

[Ben Grimm]

Kaapo won this trade by getting out.

I’m sorry about what’s happening here. As a fan of a team with a history of ridiculous management, I know what it’s like.
