8 men trades are quite rare.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Kakko and his whopping 5 points?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Don’t see the fit

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Would rather trade Monahan elsewhere and not have to take back Goodrow.

The shine on Kakko has turned to rust. He's not someone to trade anything of value for.

 

[HabsAddict]

NO

We have enough Kakkos we could populate a small village.

Lock it up....

 

[kgboomer]

This looks like a dog's breakfast.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

What do NYR fans think Kakko is worth straight up? 2nd round pick?

sorry, this is very bad for montreal. lol. you basically went on hockey DB and traded habs your 4 worst players - aside from the one who was waived.

4	Kaapo Kakko	R	27	4	1	5	2	1	2001-02-13	22	Turku, Finland	6.02	205
12	Nick Bonino	C	45	1	4	5	8	-12	1988-04-20	35	Hartford, CT	6.01	198
21	Barclay Goodrow	C	46	1	4	5	38	-9	1993-02-26	30	Toronto, ONT	6.02	209
6	Zac Jones	D	15	0	3	3	2	-9	2000-10-18	22	Richmond, VA	5.10	176
71	Tyler Pitlick

pitlick and goodrow are terrible; Evans and Armia are far more serviceable. Goodrow's contract is atrocious. Kakko looks like a bust. Jones looks ok but habs don't need any more small dmen - with hutson and harris already around.
imo, monahan and kovacevic are the two best pieces in this entire deal. by a mile

 

[bernmeister]

no
Kakko proved w/correct linemates
kid line w/still developing LaF + Chytil
he has the goods
chemistry is important
KK upside does not justify giveaway

rest of deal is no big whoop
but agree does nada for MON

 

[mattyboy]

That’s quite the reach

 

[yianik]

Kakko and his whopping 5 points?

Yeah and no more Pitliks, we had all 3 at one point

 

[Qwijibo]

Gross. Montreal not so politely declines

 

[HabsAddict]

Never ask a mother on how pretty her kids are...nor how much fans want for their players.

From the Habs perspective, NOTHING. About the same value as Evans and we know how little he will fetch on the market.

I figured Ranger fans would call me crazy sooooo

 

[thefutures]

Out of all of those guys I'd only want kakko

Thanks for the in-depth explanation of what this trade accomplishes for both teams.

 

[pld459666]

Kakko's value is such that the Rangers are better off keeping him as a 3rd liner that can play a solid defensive game with the ability (this year aside) to be a 15g 35+pt player.

His salary is not going to balloon so he's going to be a reliable bottom 6 player.

I can see the benefit of moving the salary, but for what he is, he's still a reliable defensive player.

Unless the deal is silly, keep him

We don't want Kakko. You guys keep him.

How about Monahan for a 2nd and a prospect (not named Othmann or Perrault)?

And we’ll toss in an extra late pick for 50% retention.

Holy, that's massive enough. Doubt Hughes interested in Kakko. He's going to be looking for offense going forward. No from Habs

Ugh. Fine.

You can take Mika Zibanejad too.

remember this, Hughes has a mafioso breathing down his neck during every meeting in Gorton. Don't be surprised if he targets certain NYR players if MTL is dealing with them. The downside for Drury and the Rangers is that MTL would 100% be asking about Kakko in any negotiation looking to sneakily get him in a trade. I can see it now, MTL fans love trash talking Laf/Kakko yet are drooling at the thought of getting them for cheap. OP is out of his mind however...

Lafreniere I can see Montreal interested. But they don't have much interest in Kakko. He's third liner and we overrun with them now.
