I would be livid if this happened.
Kakko has been disappointing as a 2 Overall but he's still a decent middle six winger who is serviceable on the top line. Should the Rangers sign him to a 9x8? No but if you can keep him for cheap you might as well do it. Even if he doesn't develop much further he's still a decent hockey player right now if you ignore his draft position. And the org is severely lacking RWs so you might as well not make that problem worse.
Also, when you consider all of this, there's really no point in trading Kakko at his lowest value and getting scraps in return.
