    Fucking idiocy. Please follow Glen out the door, Larry.

    Unless they have an inside track on a prospect being something great, I’m not keen on it. Better to hold on to him either as a trade sweetener, be out preseason or trade deadline, or just keep him as a known Factor on the third line.

    But, what do I know. They probably know a lot more than I do so here’s hoping it’s a good pick.

    Rangers trading a middle six forward to move up for a pick who will probably be at best a middle six forward. Lol

    There’s literally no reason to move on from Kakko before the end of next season. What his raw stats lacked this past season, he had in fancy/expected stats anyway. And he’s way underpaid for even his career average point production. He’s already smashed Goodrow’s best point total, makes 2/3 of that, and (despite the haters) *still* has upside.

    It would have to be something pretty big for me to be okay with moving him. That’s all.

    Pick 15 won’t help us win anytime soon you idiots

    Wonder how people will react if he goes off somewhere else. Most likely that’s gonna happen. All I know is, the people who want him gone are gonna be so happy

    This is like beavis and butthead on sega genesis where you can fish out the window and use anything as bait

  8. a win-now team is going to trade their best defensive forward on a good value contract in order to move up in an absurdly weak draft, where there’s virtually nobody worth trading up for unless you’re breaking the top ~5? horrendous idea

  9. roscomikotrain

    This would be a terrible idea.

    Glad it came from brooksy and not someone credible- the guy is an absolute tool

    If they’re doing this only because Dolan wants to have a showy draft at the Sphere I’ll be pissed and frustrated. This draft class drops off very quickly after the top 10 and the player they’ll likely require will probably be like Kakko or worse.

    This is a move a rebuilding/retooling team makes. They’re in win now mode. What are they doing?
