Josh Anderson would be a good wing for us bring a heavy player on the right side he’s mcmannish maybe with some motivation

1-Kakko played biggest part of season with Cuyle who had 20 5v5 pointS, its more than any leafs player without get a rel better production than mcmann and people think his production would drastically change playing alongside Marner, Matthews, Nylander and whatever.

2- Since hes in the NHL, he didn't really developped. Its the same exact thing than a Puljujarvi. All the value fan here giving up to Kakko is the fact hes a former #2 and hope he finally get a miraculous break out season. But like it was the case with puljujarvi, that will not happen.

3- Kakko doesn't look like a team player when it will be time to pay the price for his team and teammate, do anyone here really think Kakko will doing it more than a Mcmann who's just so happy to be here and play with the team?!?!?!?! It's the reason i would stay far away of this guy.

Kaako isn't 1 season of 40 pts
For his career .39 over 82 32 pts.

He had one season of 40 points, and is near 0.5PPG again this season. Minten will never have those numbers.

kakko last 3 season produced at a rate of 17 goal and 35 pts/ season( so including his 40 pts season and last 2 worst)

Mcmann last 2 22 goal and 34 pts pace...

hes younger okay but doesn't mean he will develop in something necessairly better and outside of age, he bring nothing more and the way he react and what he said by telling hes not the worst, for me that's a red flag. You can be mad of being healthy scratch but attacking your own teammate by saying some player are worst, that's pretty pathetic and why eve a1v1 mcmann vs kakko trade, i would not do it.

Ps 28 is clearly not the age player declining...

You might want to educate yourself on this one. Multiple studies and data have shown a decline after 28. I love what McMann brings to the table, but I doubt many would project that McMann will be a better player than Kakko for the next five years. Kakko will likely end up with double the points of McMann over that period.

Kaako talking with the media after his benching said there were other players that played well as him.
It's only because he is young and not a veteran , that is why he got benched.
Try going back into the dressing after that one.
Ya a hard papa on him.

If Montreal was willing to retain 2 million on Anderson’s contract, I’d be interested.

McMann - Domi - Anderson would be interesting.
