I do not think Montreal should trade for Kakko. His best year is 40 points, which is not terrible, but not great for a second overall pick who is now into his fifth year in the league. His second best point total in a season is an under 25 point season.
As one person said above, he is a good defensive player. A young defensive forward is not where the Habs need to be focusing.
It would almost be unfair to Kakko (as a former number 2 overall pick) to send him to a market like Montreal and expect him not to be under massive pressure to be something that he is not (a high end scorer), given his draft pedigree. Maybe he could use a fresh start somewhere else.
