Exactly. We know more or less what we have in Kakko, why take a chance on trying out a player who isn't an upgrade in a lateral trade.
- Fenrir

If glass wasn’t a center I wouldn’t have even mentioned him. Center is crater in the lineup virtually in all but 10 games this season so not sure how that’s lateral. Glass at the very least is a 3C imo

The time time for hope in Kakko has come and gone. He's not a Drury draft pick, he's not a scorer, and he's not fast enough to be a vital NHL player.

My opinion, no basis of fact from this. I also don't think he wants to be a Ranger.

Send him packing.

What? He’s played 13 games lol

We have no centers Jan lol we have a 1000 wingers. It’s just an idea, you asked me a question and I answered

My ideas break like no frills light bulbs around here tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just reading the comments, “cabbage” has it right. That is where Tarasenko comes in to save the day

I’m not going to ignore the gaping hole at center, now and in the future, be my guest tho

You're not wrong. But the people worried at about the RW depth also have points. It's just amazing we/they are here, yet again.

I have to say, if Drury does trade KK or prospects for a rental, he is in desperation mode. This team needs to fix Igor and Mika first before they add any pieces otherwise it will be for nothing and we will continue to suffer. This rebuild we just be another bust.

IMO, at this point and how the team is playing, we are far from competing for a Cup, there are other team much stronger than we are. Trading for a RW or 3rd line C isnt going to put us over the top.

Laf and Perrault are two. RW in general is easier to fill year to year

Doesn’t have to be glass, but if they got a center to build with for Kakko I think its a good trade is kinda what I’m getting at

Suppose we got ROR instead? Probably have to give them a first also tho. His contract isn’t bad by any means. It’s crazy how many centers that we could pluck from Nashvillle. Also, it’s pretty surprising to me that O’Reilly doesn’t have any clauses

I think it’s pretty likely we get Tarasenko. So that leaves 3RW for wheeler or someone else in the event a deal took place with Kakko

Drury has cap space now so I think he gonna be busy😬

I dont think he should be going overboard until the team fixes its internal issues, otherwise it will be giving players away.

there isnt any team in the Eastern Conference who doesn't have their own problems

this conference is there for the taking if Shesterkin and Mika get their acts together

Tarasenko isn’t going to cost much tho. Remember last year? We were stunned at what we got him for

Conditional second. 4th and Skinner. So it wouldnt be even be that much a year later, older. And full NTC so he can say nope ain’t going there and hand pick the rangers, which I think he’d do

Grow a pair of balls Brukie

Rangers also got Mikkola in that deal

Obviously depends on the rerun. But I think dealing Kakko will be one of those trades we look back on at the end of his career and say man, what a mistake we made.
- nyrangers9479

Hopefully you make the mistake with us…

Rico 50% retained - Frankie V - 30% retained -

KK - & 5th

However no way Drury trades KK … I just don’t see it …
I think he’d trade Laf before KK -

they are obviously going to use the money created by announcing Chytil is out for the season

at this point how can anyone advocate for them to just stand pat?

Yea that’s right. Was Tarasenko 50%? I can’t remember.

I dont agree with this at all

Kakko needs a new contract after the season, and Lafreniere is signed next year at bargain rate of 2.3 mil

Yea that’s right. Was Tarasenko 50%? I can’t remember.

yes he was

I hope you're right. I think it's not the right time to deal Kakko. But, as some have said, Drury might be feeling the heat to try and pull something off.
But, Laffy is driving play as much as Bread or Trocheck most nights. He needs to get back the scoring touch he had in Juniors, but the rest seems to be coming on now. Not a chance he gets moved.
