Kakko is a right-handed shot, a necessity for the Kings to add. He is also great defensively and is physical on the forecheck. General manager Rob Blake stated at head coach Jim Hiller’s introductory press conference that the team needed more offense without sacrificing the defense. His rant also included how he believed the team needed to be more physical in the offensive zone. He stated how it is easy to get within five feet of the crease, but getting to two or three feet is incredibly difficult. Kakko would fill this criteria, and it would be at an affordable price.

Hockey Writers are suggesting that a 2nd and a 4th would be an approximated return for Kakko and that the Kings should do it. Given that the Flames only have two right handed shots in their likely forward group I would do a trade like that all day long.
Dallas 2nd and Vegas 3rd might get it done. See if you can recoup one or both of those picks in a Mangiapane deadline deal and call it a day.
