Rangers would just sign Kakko to that amount if that’s all it takes

Rangers decline. Kakko is a huge part of the Rangers’ defensive structure, which is shown by their records with him in vs out.

I would be very happy to see Boston let Beecher go for a draft bust but I’m also a Habs fan.

Beecher is worth more than Kakko right now.

Okay

A centre that is playing as well as he is at the same age beats a RW who has underachieved.

Beecher’s career point pace is the same as Kakko in the worst slump of his career. Unless you’re just ignoring everything up until this season I don’t see how your assertion is true at all. I don’t like just looking at points alone as indicators of success, but I can’t imagine you’re judging Kakko based on anything else.

you do realize you actually have to give to get right? Also, we're contenders just like you guys, we're not giving away kakko.
