What I hear from people who follow the rags about Kakko is that he does everything well...it just doesn't translate into points.

Wonder if Dr.Shot and Marty could fix that.
There is no obvious flaws in his game, he's engaged, shifty and pretty creative everytime I see him play. He'd fit darn well with Dach... I wonder what Drury wants for him.

Even if not, he’d be an awesome 3rd liner for us. We don’t really have anyone in the system like him besides Heineman who gets injured every game.

Kakko = Armia/Eller
Zegras = Suzuki

Man people dont watch games. If you prefer Kakko to Zegras, go on my ignore list.

Kakko wouldn't cost as much and has a 40 point season under his belt, something neither Armia or Eller ever did. Also, Zegras is not close to Suzuki. Would rather spend lesser assets on Kakko if possible than overpay for a winger that I wouldn't play over either of Suzuki's.

According to what Rangers want? But former 2nd overall doubt Kakko be cheap. They likely ask for Jets first.

Classic laughs. Too cheap to fix their D corps which they desperately need to improve.
Considering their abysmal drafting record over the last years, we have to wonder the value to them of that 1st round pick

Kakko is looking real good tonight. The kind of big framed project I prefer to Zegras, very Dach like. Kid had great hands in tight and imo just needs opportunity to explode.
Perennial + player, good possession numbers. Could be the missing piece in our top 6.

Dach healthy + Kakko I think we’re playoff bound next year.

What makes it done? Is our 2024 first (if not top 5) + a young D (Harris, Barron, Xhekaj) ex Guhle?

I don’t think Rags are selling low on Kakko so whatever the price, it would look like an overpayment for its current level and production.

Their biggest need last off-season was getting a defensive D who could eat up minutes and make them harder to play against in the playoffs.

Instead of just signing someone like Ian Cole to a 1 year deal Treliving prioritized signing the softest D in the league in Klingberg and adding toughness in a guy who can't skate or take a hit from 5'9" Nathan Walker.

Says the GM who paid a first rounder to get rid of one year of Sean Monahan.
Imagine they hold on to Monahan, save a 2025 first, get a 2024 first, get another first for Huberdeau at LY deadine and aw shucks can't sign Kadri long-term? And maybe not trade Toffoli cheap?

Calgary would have cap space and draft picks galore, leapfrogging over Montreal, Ottawa, Detroit, Buffalo, Columbus, Anaheim and Arizona in rebuild readiness.

Thats the price I would be willing to pay for Zegras. Kakko should be much cheaper to acquired

Maybe. we need to consider that Kakko was almost as productive as Zegras 5v5 last season, (2.02 vs 1.76 pts / 60) but Kakko with less ice time, opportunity and no PP has lower overall production. I think the gap with the 2 isn’t what it seems. If there is a significant pricing gap between the 2, I go for Kakko for sure.

Hearing that Jake Allen is heading to Colorado unless he isn't. There is a private plane booked to leave from Montreal to Denver this evening but Robert Herjavec is rumoured to be in the city.
