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

[effen]

6 game sample size playing for a new team/system ?

It's only fair to track his 6 whole games vs. when he gets 2 assists in a random game and a buncha people go REEEEEEEEE

Fair enough haha

In the end, he needs to be in a system that forces him to move his feet and be moving to where the play WILL be. His natural inclinations are incompatible with the modern NHL.

The Rangers 'system' which seems to rely a lot on pull up and read the play shit just amplifies his tendencies. He'd probably do well in any very strong system on a good team where he only has to fill a singular hole on the ice.

KK's numbers are pretty similar in Seattle so far to what they were here in NY.

NYR- 30 Games- 4 Goals-10 Assists- 14 Points- 13.17 minutes
STK- 06 Games- 1 Goals-02 Assists- 03 Points- 15.27 minutes

NYR- .6 Goals/60- 1.5 Assists/60- 2.1 Points/60
STK- .6 Goals/60- 1.3 Assists/60- 1.9 Points/60

So points (goals / assists) per game are about the same and his results /60 are also very similar, but he's getting almost 2 more minutes per game. What am I missing?

Similar is what I posted

Slightly more per game.
Slightly less per 60.

so... long story short is KK is a 30-40pt player until proven otherwise.

The hasty way that KK was vanquished tells me ...

Laviolette couldn't utilize him... Drury knew he wasn't an impact player...

And they realized the above after KK makes some backhand comments? They couldn't have made this determination sooner and gotten a better return.

This organization does everything wrong.. they mishandle everything practically.

I believe KK has been in trade talks on and off for a long time. If the team did anything wrong trade wise it was probably waiting too long and having the price drop. Was also hard to trade him last season. If the team trades Borgen for a 3rd then its two 3rds and a 6th. Im fairly sure those three picks can be packaged for a 2nd if the NYR are inclined to do so.

The only “guarantee” I’ll offer regarding Kaapo is that he scores in his first game against us.

It’s a “thing” with Rangers alumni

Here’s my math: his six game easy projects to 30 by multiplying by 5 resulting in 15 points, 1 extra point than what he got with the Rangers but in projected 2m10sec x 5 = 11 min? So then this is pretty bad but only has 0.2 p/60 reduction? Does it suppose to make sense that only one extra point in 11 extra minutes has such a lower impact?

Honestly he's the one ex-Ranger I'm pretty comfortable to predict that he wouldn't score.

Which tells me he is going to do the exact opposite in his return and score 4 and make Igor retire mid-period.

I watched Seattle play Vancouver a couple days ago and Kakko certainly fits the way they like to play in the offensive zone better than he did with the rangers outside of a few moments. How much will that matter to his overall production?who the hell knows for sure.

KK got a secondary assist last night. Wasn't a spectacular one but they all count. Jaden Schwartz is still a dangerous player. Looking at the Kraken he is the forward I would want if the price was reasonable but doubt that is the case.
