Thread: Doing the math for a Kakko OS match
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>Buying out Trouba would give us the 4m to match Kakko alone. Not signing a 6m 2C this summer like most think. Lindgren could easily be traded for a nice return while moving Jones into that spot. It’s going to need to be a 6m+ for them to let him got for picks. Chytil, Goodrow, Reaves all have trade value as well. 4.2M isn’t going to be an issue for the basically extinct OS. If no one did it to TB after Stanley cups for better players(Cirelli, Serg, Cernak) then KAkko is safe</div></div>

Not necessarily. Teams might OS Kakko with the intentions of going for the bigger fishes, so to speak. Lafreniere, Miller, and Chytil would be due after next season, with Lundkvist, Shneider, and Lindgren the year after that. It would really never have been about just Kakko, as he is the smallest fish on the list. With the contract Reaves has, he doesn’t hold much value. For someone who plays between 7 and 11 minutes per game, really only to be a goon, you aren’t getting much for him.

If the Rangers don’t sign a 2C for 6mil, would they bump Chytil up to 2C? Yes it gives them cap space, but the cost would be not being a contender. So is it really worth the Rangers matching an OS to Kakko? With the bigger fish involved in the big picture, no Kakko is not worth it. The worst thing that could happen would be the maximum for a second rounder for 1 year. Much like the KK situation in MTL, if he gets matched, he either gets traded or doesn’t get qualified. I think the Rags take contending for the cup over Kakko.

Thread: Interesting
If Stevie signed Trochek I'd still keep Suter and move him at the trade deadline because he's a rental. With Fabbri out we shouldn't be trading scoring away. Suter is an ideal 3C and I think Ras is better on the wing. I get that we need to give Veleno some minutes at C. I think I'd just wait until the trade deadline to move Suter.

We're not getting both Trochek and Copp. LOL Rutta is only good with Hedman. Pass on him. Mango yes please. I'll even take the caveman for a season to get Mango. I don't like Ryan Murray. No on Desmith. I'd love Hague but Stevie has never signed a player to an offer sheet so I can't see him doing it now. But I do wish more GM's would do it. It's not illegal. LOL

I got excited seeing Sebastian Aho on your team. Too bad it's the bad one. LOL

Berggren should be on the team but he'll have to earn a spot at training camp. 👍
