It’s a lateral move. 2nd overall for 2nd overall but the difference is Kakko played against men

Don’t get me wrong… would’ve considered it if we hadn’t just signed trocheck, now it would seem redundant

Kakko is already a superstar RW

No chance Rangers trade him for anything less than McDavid

Kakko is a phenomenal hockey player. His size and defense is unmatched in todays game

Yeah but what do you have for young Centers in the next few years?
He's a monster of a man and just turned 20 now at 6'5 220lbs
He'll need a season maybe part of a second season to gain momentium before joining NYR

I'd give up a couple good picks for him upwards of a top 10 protected pick.
While he's still great like Dobber points out we're past the point of Superstar Potential
Now we're looking more at a 2nd line Center or a 1B situation like Duchene and Johanson got going on.

He's on the right track. Not long ago your pokes were Ty Smith is "better than K'AM" or Blackhole is "better than Igor" lol

Are you implying that the Pacific division doesn't have men in it?

Not after Brent burns got traded unfortunately. He was the man amongst boys.

This is unfair to Rangers, Kakko has far more value.

Don't you know, he played against men!
