Rangers say yes.

But Habs decline because KK IS NOT A BUST

As a Ranger fan I didn't think it was in my best interests to point that out. But yeah, that too.

KK 19 in his 2nd year pro
he's a lanky kid still growing into his body
he came into camp an inch taller and 10 pounds heavier
he'll only keep growing the next 1-2 years

look at Armia who is just in recent years grown into and become comfortable with his size.
Mantha in DET has been hitting a similar stride as he seems to have balanced things out with his Size vs Speed .

KK started way earlier then either of them following more of a Barkov like path to a lesser degree obviously .
KK may never be a #1 Center but the odds of him maturing into a top 6 guy are still high

Anderson is a small speedy forward with an attitude like Mikhail Grabovski and excuses for his inconsistent offense and non existent defensive play .
He's worth getting but only for a player he'd be replacing in the depth chart like a Ikonen or Evans along with lets say a 2nd

I think KK has potential to be a #1 center but then again he could be overtaken by Domi, Poehling or Suzuki

lol why would Montreal even consider that
