The New York Rangers have traded Kaapo Kakko to the Seattle Kraken in exchange for defenseman Will Borgen and draft picks, marking their second trade in 20 days as they struggle through a challenging season.

While Kakko has faced criticism for not meeting expectations as a second-overall pick, he still possesses valuable skills that could benefit the Kraken. Conversely, Borgen's performance has been underwhelming, raising questions about the Rangers' decision.
