Thread: Doing the math for a Kakko OS match
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>Hahaha you’re going to be very angry when your GM doesn’t do it, no other GM does it. He will sign a bridge around 3M to be with a contender instead of going to a rebuild mess if the 4.2 is even offered. It’s a pipe dream. You need to make it worth his while to move to a bad team who he may not be with by the time they are contending.. Drury brought in the grit to help train the kids how to be tougher and to protect them. Laf is way tougher than last year, Kakko also. They are all going to be a few pounds bigger, stronger next year and more skilled. People really don’t calculate the growth from within into the equation. He could subtract something and still be tougher than this season. Blais didn’t even play 60% of the season so he will be adding grit immediately</div></div>

I don't necessarily want Kakko. After seeing posts of Kakko for Vilardi and Turcotte and/or Kaliyev, I can promise you no GM is going to trade any of those 3 players when they can easily offersheet the player for a 2nd instead since the team can't afford to match it.

Don't worry, Kings aren't giving up that haul for Kakko and most likely won't offersheet him anyway. Kakko isn't an immediate improvement over Kaliyev and Vilardi.

The point is, the Kings could offersheet him and the Rangers would be unable to match it. End. Of. Story. . . .

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>

That's wishful thinking and Rangers are not going to buy out Trouba. Drury just added Goodrow, Blais, and Reaves because they need toughness. He isn't going to buyout or trade one of his best hard nose players in Trouba to save Kakko. Nor should he. Having guys like Trouba, Lindgren, Goodrow, and Reaves is vital to playoff ranger team.

The argument in the previous post isn't whether or not it is realistic for a team to offersheet Kakko, but if it happened, could the Rangers afford to match it? The answer appears to be no.
