So, you're saying Tanner is coming out of retirement? - mames11
That’s funny I knew someone would say that
I like Cody glass. He’s a young bigger CENTER or RW, very similar arc to Kakko, and underachieving, maybe needs a change of scenery. He’s got one year left at 2.5 so that’s right in our ball park too. Peca could really help him imo

This all we say about Kakko. We can’t have could anymore is the problem. The results needed to be there this year. I know he got hurt but the playoffs he was healthy by then, and as invisible as anyone we have
If we weren’t contending for cups you can live with it and wait him out. I just think we’re past that point now. I do understand the reluctance to trade him tho by people, I’m just not one of them anymore - Slimtj100
Ideally I’d like to see one more season of Kakko, but there are some deals I could get excited about. Drury can’t sell low, no reason to.
Yea unfortunately he scored most of his junior and Liiga goals from around the net. Not a sniper, not a blazer, not as much space in the NA game. - TC88
My biggest problem with him is very rarely goes to the net. He spends 90% of his ozone time along the boards and eventually loses the puck. I wanna break something every time that happens
I’ll let it go, but let’s re-circle this one in a few years like when I wanted Sam Bennett and all I heard on here also was how he sucked and got demoted to his teams 4th line and had attitude issues etc. - nyrangers9479
Bennett was never being paid big money and run out of town. He just was not living up to his draft spot. He was worth the risk
Get me PLD for Zib, and this team is much more ready for the playoffs. We might not get the fancy presidents trophy, but we’ll be much more prepared for playoff hockey. - nyrangers9479
Read something that Kakko and pick 30 could be used to move up into the teens. Dolan wants a splash at the draft as we’ve heard
We into that? 😬 - Slimtj100
Can't imagine any team biting on that. To go from teens to 30? And get an underperforming winger that's RFA to make the deal happen. Can't see it. At all...
If Trouba isn't moved before the draft, we will likely see the Lindgren's RFA rights moved for a late round pick. I just don't see the team go into next season with both...one making $8M and the other about $5M. With only $11.5 to work with, half going to Lindgren with Trouba still here, isn't happening.

Problem is we can hate all these guys or want them gone, but we have no one in house to really slide in anyway. So regardless we’ll have to pay for defensemen. I’d be stunned if they don’t keep Lindgren after all the blood and sweat he’s given them the last few years. I think he’ll get 4 years, jmo.

I would bet any team would take that. You are talking about a 23yo who was taken second overall who has developed solid defensive game.

Rangers are in win now mode, I doubt they do it. - Brukie
Agreed, not worth trading him at this point just to move up. A Glass for Kakko type deal I could maybe get behind, but I’m on the side of keep him and hope he figures it out.
