Description

Question - Is Kaapo Kakko worth a top 10 pick?

Hawks will have a top 10 pick in 2025, trade happens during the summer, so this is theoretical for a specific Rangers fan as to whether KK is worth a top 10 pick or not, please vote. This year, his 5th season, he's posting his worst ppg (.28) of his career.

Maybe to NY he's worth it because they've invested a lot into him but he's not worth it to Chicago.

WE WON"T TRADE KAKKO......OUR RECORD IS MUCH BETTER WITH HIM IN THE LINEUP THAN WHEN HE ISN'T IN THE LINEUP

I don't even see that...at some point, after 5 seasons with this season being his worst at .28ppg, Drury would love for a top 10 pick to land in his hands to trade Kaapo's RFA rights this summer. He can do a lot more on the trade market with a top 10 pick than he can with Kaapo.
