Quoting: Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan
Kakko is going nowhere.
Just like his career! (Whomp, whomp, whomppppp...)
Kidding, he's absolutely poised for a breakout year, and I'd love to add a guy like him onto my team. Just looking at his hockey-ref page, why the F*ck doesn't he shoot the puck more?
Re: the rest of the trade...
-Sam Carrick just re-signed, the value is probably fine but he's not getting moved.
-No friggin' thanks on Zaitsev. A late 2nd to eat $9 mil (Or even $7 if it's after his bonus is paid out) simply doesn't do it for me. Consider that Vegas was willing to give up a 2nd for Anaheim to basically just eat 50% of Dadonov (Moore was going the other way). Yes, Anaheim should be looking to add assets by eating a couple of short term dumps, but this one would be a bogey.
-Consider that you're making the Habs give up a 2nd to eat one year of a cheaper player in Byron.
