Now, three teams have emerged as potential suitors for Kakko, as the Rangers look to add talent that can help them win now, rather than someone like Kakko, who hasn't developed the way the team would have hoped.
At this point, it's unclear whether San Jose, Pittsburgh or Calgary have officially made an offer for Kakko or whether they simply have interest in him and are making that known. However, with the Rangers Cup hopes dwindling by the year, they need to make a win-now move, and if they find the right deal, don't be shocked to see a blockbuster deal go down before the 2024/25 regular season begins.
