For fucking Will Borgen and couple of picks. Fuck you Drury. Fire his ass incompetent fool.
 
Lol can’t make this stuff up.

When i first saw the thread i immediately hoped it was as part of package for Wright, but Will Borgen?

holy fuck.
 
You guys are overrating his value terribly. It would've been nice if Borgen had a 2nd year, but you weren't getting a top prospect or a 1st for the guy. He will never put up more than 50 pts in his career. I thought maybe a 2nd but a 3rd and 6th kind of equals that. He needed a change of scenery. Onward we go.
 
I heard Borgen sucks. He could’ve packaged Kakko in a better deal at TDL. What was the rush in trading him. His first priority should be trading away fat cats and not young players.
 
His comments yesterday were probably the writing on the wall. The whole team outside of 5-6 players needs an overhaul.
 
Borgen has a mean streak. Is a Ufa next season. Othmann is coming up and should be here full time. Borgen is a RD. Not a need. He may be quickly moved. Deadline for some team.
 
Othmann better pan out. Perrault can’t get soon enough here. This organization lacks young high end talent.
 
Typical Drury move. Making a move simply to just make a move. I said it, we need changes but Drury isn’t the guy to get those moves done with the right return. Can’t wait to see what other shit this retard brings in and sets us back even further.

Because Drury doesn’t know how to do ANYTHING when it comes to formulating a team. He’s literally beyond incompetent. He truly might be the worst GM in ALL of sports, and that includes the Browns GM that gave a guaranteed contract to Deshaun Watson.
 
I’m not worried about Othmann. He plays the game like Cuylle. Sykora plays it like Berard from the reports.
 
You’re also dreaming you think Drury is getting fired. Obviously Dolan told him you’re safe. Get rid of these fucking idiot players.

Yea but can they succeed playing 10 minutes a game with literally no effective system in the offensive or defensive zone? If not, which honestly no player could be successful in that situation, then keep them where they are. Don’t let this coaching staff poison their young talent.

Drury will be gone after this season. Watch. When we don’t make the playoffs and the Rangers are losing fans and free agents don’t want to sign here because players are going to bad mouth him behind the scenes, Dolan will have no choice. The worst thing that happened to this team is that we sucked for only a season after the “memo” to fans those years back. We “rebuilt” too quickly and that made Dolan want to force a rebuild quickly instead of letting it happen naturally over a few seasons. Now we are seeing the poisoned fruit from that tree. Spoiled, overpaid players, an incompetent GM, terrible coaching hires, coaching staff who have been here for years that are leaving the team (Benoit and Jim Ramsay). This all screams that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark friends.
 
Kakko was clearly a sell low candidate. I’m not sure what return would be expected. As for Drury his legacy will be starting his moves with that awful Buchnevich trade.

 
Can't wait to see the :15 Kakko tribute video of all of his highlights during his time with the Rangers when whatever team he is on next year plays at the Garden. I cannot think of a single impactful goal he scored in his 6 seasons with the team. He'll be out of the league by the end of the 26-27 season.

Probably will be playing in Europe.
 
Kakko like Lafreniere was butchered development wise by vet, dong sucking coaches. That being said in much rather have a winger in the mold of Cuylle or Othmann than him.
 
Acquire as many picks as possible and try and move up for an extra 1st at the draft. Start drafting C.
 
Return sucks right now but Borgen is the type of physical d-men that usually commands a good return at the trade deadline. I would be shocked if he isn't moved at the deadline.
 
At worst maybe they re-sign him fairly cheaply if he works out.

dont follow Seattle but wonder how willing they would be to part with Wright. We need some serious help at C.
 
I'm not sure they'd be willing to move him even though he hasn't really emerged yet. He probably will become a regular next year I'd think.
 
I think a lot of things are true here:

1. Drury is awful at his job, that isn't changing, he is who he is. I have zero faith he can reboot the Rangers the right way, and quickly for next season.

2. The Rangers sold low on Kakko, but after the scratch the other night, and the comments that followed, it was inevitable he was getting traded quickly.

3. While the return was low, it is about right given what Kakko has actually accomplished. Despite what some think, he was given chances, and never stepped up, that's just the truth. He seems like a solid 3rd line forward who can score 15 goals and maybe 35-40 points. There is value in that for sure, but not to the level of the # 2 pick, and thus he'd always be weighed down by and never meet expectations here. He needed a change of scenery to allow him to be that solid 3rd liner without # 2 pick expectations.

4. At least they got two picks back, and since Borgen is a UFA after this season, I fully expect he'll get dealt for at least one more pick. So, they essentially turned Kakko into 3 picks, which this team needs to reboot for next season and beyond as this season is 100% over.
 
Borgen has played 2 full 82 game seasons for the Kraken. Cant be that bad. 3 rounder ok, 6th rounder? Why bother...............

If you are planning for next season, why trade now? Why not feature Kaako one more time until the TDL and see if he can do anything? Get some goals, trade for more? 2nd overall. Why not, compared to Will Borgan? Kaako, Cullye, Chytil are the future. Season is over. Let the kids play. Its almost like Lav is forced to play vets. Sit the untradeables, bring up Hartford. Its not like Season Tickets are going to drop..........
