🕵️♂️ Transcript:
we have some breaking news from the NHL we have a pretty significant NHL trade the New York Rangers who have been struggling we know that they were rumored to be making lots of moves they’ve traded youngster gapo cako the former number two overall pick is on his way to Seattle we’ll discuss the return and what it means for both clubs coming up next so welcome back to another video here at Top Shelf hawky as I mentioned we have a pretty significant trade to Wi down here this evening of course we’re just a little over 24 hours away from the NHL roster freeze for the holiday season uh December 20th at midnight so tomorrow evening once the clock strikes 12 minute and it becomes Friday morning uh the roster freeze kicks in and we cannot have any more activity I believe it’s for one week until the 27th or 28th when they resume uh NHL game so for tonight we’ve got a big deal with the New York Rangers we know Chris jury’s been actively um you know having lots of conversations based on what NHL insiders have been uh giving us for reports here over last number of days and U of course he recently traded Captain Jacob trouba now we have our next move which is trading the former number two overall pick cappo coo he’s been traded to the Seattle Kraken in exchange for defenseman will borgan along with a 2025 third and six round picks so they get will borgan and a third and a six feels underwhelming but I understand kappal kako has not really produced um at a higher level in the NHL two years back he had his best season he played all 82 games and had a 40-point campaign um I believe that was the year he probably played a lot that year with the they kind of had like a kid line with heel and lafer obviously since then lafer has kind of been elevated in the lineup but koo’s never really been consistently playing in the top six now he has had some opportunities um but not on a consistent basis uh to play more of an offensive role but his uh defensive metrics are are decent he’s a pretty good two-way player and obviously you know we’ve seen some uh fireworks lately around him with the New York Rangers here in the past couple of days of course the team’s been struggling uh ex said we’ve heard Lots about lots of other trades we’ve heard rumors that Chris Jury has pretty much almost everybody available outside of probably shurin and lafer uh you know Elliot Freeman a couple weeks ago dropped the bomb on us Jacob trouba and Chris krider’s names were out there trouba now gone to the Anaheim Ducks uh the losing has continued um you know we we’ve heard that owner James Dolan has supposedly still supports jury and we shouldn’t expect a change at the GM position here um but the team seems to be you know just really not at a good place uh so I understand the need for further change in the moves here but of course uh you know the lineup the other night ended up having capalo outside looking in get health bombed uh and then he comes back into the lineup the last game and he only played 7 minutes and of course after being Health bummed he was uh talking to the media and he made some comments wasn’t happy about it he said he felt like it was basically to kind of paraphrase that it was easy to pick on the younger guy um that he didn’t feel like by any means that he was the worst player in the lineup he did admit he could play better but you know at the same time like didn’t think he was the worst either so was kind of confused by the fact that it was him that had to come out of the lineup and it just seems like over the last few years like whenever they’ve run into any kind of you know slumps or anything and they need to make a change it’s always seems to be Koo that gets the health bomb and not me necessarily some of your veteran guys that are you know not feeling it either like you know are you going to you know are you going to sit out Savannah Jad even though his play hasn’t been good lately hasn’t happened right we have seen times of where his ice time has been down but still I can understand why kako was upset uh they claim the claim here tonight is that his comments and reduced ice time had nothing to do with this trade I believe that cuz koo’s name has been out there for some time uh I don’t think this was new you know uh information that all of a sudden today after the comments that they started chopping him around his name has been out there for a while I think this would be really good for the Kraken another you know former high draft pick that has potential that he hasn’t been fully realized yet I mean look at Shane Wright he he was finally starting to find his game he’s scoring in a much better clip now they’ve got Matty bers you know right and bers along with kacko kako should be able to hopefully fit in with them and grow with this franchise I mean the Kraken are you know a few years into their existence now in year two they made a huge step forward had a 100 Point campaign made the playoffs and then they from there won a round as well came close to winning round two but then last year they fell back this year they’re kind of back again like you know so you know I can understand some kind of retooling on the fly in Seattle I think it’s Justified and getting a chance to get a player like this which is to me if you look at it like it feels underwhelming just because of the the you know the what comes with kako with his draft stock but that’s fallen off obviously a lot since that draft year I mean look at remember the debate between Jack Hughes and CPP oako who was going to go first overall who was the better player and at this point it’s it’s not even close Jack Hughes has accomplished a lot more in NHL than kaco ever has and you know will kako get there can he get there you know I think Seattle’s a good spot for him to be he’ll get more opportunity and um you know I can it feels like they’re it’s a by low opportunity for them so I like this deal for Seattle uh they’ve had their struggles this year and I think it it’s worth taking the chance on a player of his age in you know stock that what he had when he was younger for the Rangers don’t love the return um but it’s it sends a message to this team but like you know they were pretty lucky with those uh draft lottery wins getting lafer first overall kaco second overall I really feel like they’ve kind of fumbled those developments of both of those players um they weren’t you know they for a team that was supposed to be rebuilding I honestly thought they would rebuild more through the draft but they did more through free agency than anything else you know panan came as a free agent troch came as a free agent you know you seen guys like Adam Fox and Jacob trouba kind of fall on their lap that kind of insisted on going there like you know it’s a a unique spot you know but at the same time like it’s it’s kind of unfortunate to see kacko leave and to not get anything substantial coming back I mean no disrespect to will borgan but I don’t see him as being a substantial Piece Will it give their Decor a different look um sure um you know he’s a serviceable guy but I don’t know that he’s a whole lot more than that in third and sixth round picks that’s still another year away uh from even being selected you’re probably looking at three to four years before they have any chance to make it you know will either of those picks turn out to be anything in five years you don’t know right so it just it feels underwhelming I wonder if another move might be coming soon enough for the Rangers and Chris jury to kind of you know bring in another player they’ve recalled Matt Ry but I don’t really see him as being the answer to replace kako either so we’ll see let me know what you think this means for both franchises your thoughts on the trade uh how it worked out and what’s next for the Rangers especially as they continue to try to fight their way out of all this turmoil and um you know slump that they find themselves in now outside of the playoffs looking in let me know your thoughts in the comments we’ll discuss further of course I’ll be back a little bit later with another video recap on the rest of today’s news and trade rumors from around the league thanks for watching I’ll catch you next time [Music]
