Feels like the Rangers are going into fire sale mode--BUT, are they really going to blow it up and reboot? This feels like what happened to the Blues a few seasons back after the Stanley Cup win, when the team dynamic changed. Sadly the Blues are still in rebuild mode,let's just hope theirs doesn't take as long as the Blues. The Kraken may get a big benefit if Kakko realizes his true potential.
Kakko NEVER got MINUTES. In my opinion, you draft a guy #2, he better be playing Top 6 to start. NYR are so top heavy with contracts, they can't demote someone to 3rd line. Kakko became a trade chip, unfortunately for NYR, they got shit
Rangers have one of the worst player development program in the league. They also have the worst GM in the league. Kaapo is going to flourish in Seattle's top 6.
Yeah because they always fishing for big FA and/or trading for big names...hence Kane tarasanko and so on and so fourth. Prob can go as far as yandle. Druy and gomez can contest with this and even I believe was during the redden era where he made a new rule not to burry contracts. Kakko is better then Laffy but laffy gets the benefit of the doubt for more offensive upside, higher draft pick, and yes Finnish players play much differently then French Canadians. IMO this is a disaster of a trade alongside trouba. You resign kakko for a prove me contract...prob the best defensive foward in our lineup besides vinny....you don't trade toruba...and now you do... so what is the direction... after 30 games in a new season where Mika and krider Clearly lost a step... seems like Lindgren and Miller peaked already.... not using othman and or rempe(huge asset regardless he is a 4th liner. He really helped provided energy and toughness and get us out of that slump last year).... poor player mangemnt, poor cap mangement, poor roster makeup, poor coaching. Yes their needs to be some trades... I was thinking more KAM and not trouba and Kakko...but he'll mangement and coaches being super.political here and it is disgusting.
Surprised he went to the Kraken. With the number of Defensive prospects in the Ducks pipeline I would think Drury could have gotten more for him from the Ducks. Would have been something to see Kappo with his size and potential grow with the kids in Anaheim. Oh well.
Has Kakko been underwhelming since he’s been here. No doubt. That said this move doesn’t mean jack shit. Drury has built a flawed team. They basically reached their peak last year. Too much finesse, not enough grit. Now he’s desperate and no matter what moves are made now it won’t matter. Unfortunately it’s a complete rebuild starting with the GM
well they got nothing back much in picks but Borgen does play with a physical edge, that might be all the Rangers get back here though..Drury is going to get canned soon
Honestly the Devils have a strong team this year. This said, the Rangers must be in your head if you are still interested in Ranger updates and talking about these bottom feeders.
Drury did great for the Organization with Trouba, as filthy dirty as it was, but he shit the bed for Madison Square “Dolan” with this one….Drury goes home to Buffalo next season anyway, he’s going to destroy the clubhouse and leave his mark before he goes I guess….
The Ducks needed more toughness. Fans in Anaheim are very happy to have Trouba... Still, a third round pick should have come with him instead of a 4th going to NY.
You knew this was coming after he kind of through his team under the bus.. "I'm not the worst one out there"... NY is a disaster. He will be happy in Seattle.
I'm glad he escaped from the Rangers before he was totally ruined. Now he can salvage his career and find his game away from the Rangers' horrible development. Now, save Laffy.
The Pens missed Kakko. Oh well. He sucks. Or will Kakko flourish with a chance in Seattle? Small return. Whatever. Rangers could have drafted Moritz Seider, Bowen Byram, Trevor Zegras, Cole Caufield, Matt Boldy, or Connor McMichael.
Let me know your thoughts on this trade....

Becoming the NHLs punching bag along with the Sabres.
Kakko and Lafreniere should have spent time in the AHL first.
Watch he will blossom in Seattle and will be 30 goal scorer.
Drury is a disaster. Lol
I’m happy for Kakko, should be able to relax in Seattle and play
I can’t believe how rapidly it’s falling apart for the Rangers. They were supposed to be a favourite to win the cup. Cheers from Ottawa.
Kappo will do well for himself and career.
WE LOVE OUR JACKIE HUGHES!!!!!!!!! LET'S GO DEVILS
Sens have a good week and Mike breaks out the swag😅
That and I’m also in desperate need of a haircut 😂😂 getting it cut on Friday
@@TopShelfHockeythank goodness you don’t see what we look like watching You on a daily basis, lololol!!!!
I don't look at Kaapo Kakko as a bust as I do he might have been a reach at no.2 overall.

Kakko got the best of this deal. Probably be top six by next season.
I wonder if Shesterkin knew he was signing up to backstop a rebuild?

Kraken player development is a work in progress. The longer Beniers is there, the worse he gets

I like the value for Seattle, but this leaves their defensive depth really thin hopefully they can pick up some D with a trade of Gourde or Tanev

This was bad deal for Rangers..drury needs to go 🙄
Disappointing trade made by Drury.
Suck's losing Kako, nothing in return either...
Only hopes he flourish in Seattle and gives Drury the middle finger
Tolvaton they got from the Preds.
As a Devils fan I’m loving watching the meltdown on Broadway 🎭 😂

@ 3 cups and 3 playoff round wins against the rangers since there last cup … who’s in who’s head
@@jgaunce6299
Please, after Brodeur and their trap the Devils struggled for many years to find any new, consistent identity/play.
Drury did great for the Organization with Trouba, as filthy dirty as it was, but he shit the bed for Madison Square “Dolan” with this one….Drury goes home to Buffalo next season anyway, he’s going to destroy the clubhouse and leave his mark before he goes I guess….
Drury won the Trouba trade but lost this latest one. Drury and Laviolette's days are numbered.
The Ducks needed more toughness. Fans in Anaheim are very happy to have Trouba... Still, a third round pick should have come with him instead of a 4th going to NY.
He never lived up to his draft.
*supposedly* not "supposebly" lol.
Does Seattle have favorable taxes, or palm trees? Asking for a friend 😮
No state income tax. Lots of rain in the winter
I spend a lot of time in Seattle. No state income tax. Rain, but good food and outdoor recreation. Homeless drug use in the streets still an issue.
Lots of high taxes with the exception of no income tax@@rickyaz8640
You knew this was coming after he kind of through his team under the bus.. "I'm not the worst one out there"...
NY is a disaster. He will be happy in Seattle.
Disagree with Drury must go,Kaako just don't fit we need physical players
I'm glad he escaped from the Rangers before he was totally ruined. Now he can salvage his career and find his game away from the Rangers' horrible development. Now, save Laffy.

Small return. Whatever.
Rangers could have drafted Moritz Seider, Bowen Byram, Trevor Zegras, Cole Caufield, Matt Boldy, or Connor McMichael.
Stop with the reality thing, he was second pick overall, lol. He is a good second line player he just needs the ice time to develop into that.
@@carlosvangrinder3754 KK had 18 goals and 40 pts with 0 PPG's and only 3 PPPts. He's got a chance.
He was krappo kakko - barely 10 goals a year. Where is that no2 pick credentials...played krappo
WoW this was bad deal!Drury must to go!!!!
Kakko is a bust. Should've been traded years ago. Looks like he's skating in quicksand.
What direction are the Rangers going?
They're going down.
Tortorella is not a good coach.
we've seen this movie b4 with other teams. Seems it's the GM who created the problem(s).
down south ⬇
Down to China town
The Hockey Guy reported this 1st before you did
👏👏👏👏👏👏 cool story loser
18 years on TH-cam is pathetic af
You follow OF slugs around and Kamala Harass them
So?
Dude why even say this as a grown man lol ^
Watch Kakko become a JT Miller I hope he does because he never got a fair chance to become what he was drafted to be.
Kakko same stupid chip deal like with Pavel Buchnevich!Drury must was to go from Rangers!!
