Remember that time when Drury and his coffee clatch decided to quit on Tom Renney? Renney (an excellent coach) got fired for no reason other than the team having a mutiny. I despised Drury ever since. I do!
I also remember how he snaked his way in by screwing JD and Gorton.
There was already dissension within the team after Goodrow and Trouba were forced out. They had to draw a red line in the sand, and Kakko crossed it.
There's no I in team, but there is a We
Kappo +10 Mika -17
Praying james dolan meddles in and fires this clown drury
I spend a lot of time in Seattle. Looking forward to Kakko’s reset.
It’s official John. This organization is cooked. Also I hate this team drury and the bums in the ice I’m done I’m out
More trades are coming. We are likely to dump lindgren so more defenseman were needed.
The reason they traded him is because there was NO WAY he was signing with us next year.
That Cuylle, Kakko, Chytil line was 13 for and 2 against? Holy crap!
Pennies on the Dollar from Drury.
Terrible trade we are the new leafs
Chytil is the one young player I'd trade.
Now we will be among the worst teams in the league by season's end. Typical Dolan owned team! 😲
drury is a idiot fire him…!!!!
I don’t mind them trading him cause he has been a bust. The reason I’m mad is cause he spoke the truth. Hes been one of the better players. Trade Miller , Lindgren or Mika before Kakko. And they bring in another defenseman.
Drury managed to get two third pair d-men , if that, three draft picks, a 3rd,4th and 6th and freed up $6.6 million in cap space for Trouba and Kakko……… is the team any better than it was before the trades? This is embarrassing.
Great Video, as usual, Jon. I tried to make The Live Chat, if there was one, but, I missed The Notification. While I'm not happy about this, I think that it was A Necessary Evil, since, I don't think that they were going to resign him & he really wanted out. Therefore, Chris Drury got this done was quick as he could, without bothering to ask for more, particularly since, after Kappo Kakko had requested a trade, didn't really leave Chris Drury any leverage. Let me know what you think
I think that The Rangers were the ones (along with Fans) to screw things up, in not letting The Kid Line Swim Or Skin Together. As I've always said, I think that The Kid Line (LaF, Kakko & Chytil) were a decent 3rd Line, however, breaking up that Chemistry from 2022 had messed up all of the players, even though Alexi Lafrenniere did a bit better. Let me know what you think (I think that we need to apologize to David Quinn, for criticizing him, for not playing them more, etc.).
One of the problems about the scratching of Veterans, is they are making all of the money. How can you pay them not to play, which, in essence is the effect of a Scratch/Benching, right? Let me know what you think
The Rangers are a team in Turmoil
You are looking at this trade all wrong. Zab, Fix and some other players showed that at the right circumstances they could be top notch players. Kakko being nothing but disappointment all his NHL career. He should’ve been traded last year.
I don't think the timing of the trade was right but let's not pretend we lost Wayne Gretzky.
How are rangers fans and YouTubers so mind numbingly stupid you think this is a bad trade we were all complaining they didn’t trade him the last 2 years now when it happens for a d man it’s a problem this fanbase is ridiculous
People who act like kakko was a big piece of this team is to deny reality and Kakko wanted out he’s so easily replaced with better and cheaper players he’s the king of the perimeter and can’t score to save his life and he is absolutely soft and his defensive play is insanely overrated
He stinks. Plain and simple
A plus for Borgin, he’s tough !!! Can fight Compared to the wimps we have now
Disgusting
Your soon to be 11.5 million goalie has a .908 save percentage…. Yea Igor is a bit of a problem.
We need a spark here in Seattle so I am excited about this trade. Hopefully the change of scenery ignites Kappo to be the player he was expected to be as the #2 pick in the draft. Cheers from Seattle.
We were fleeced in this trade. We have a guy that might end up being an AHL'er for us.
