2x 2nds and Kuzy. I'd be okay with that. That's the Bennett price with a dump.

The Rangers don’t need to take a cap dump to trade Kakko.

Nor do the Flames need to give one. I’d rather just keep Kuzmenko and hope he goes in a run before the deadline.

Unless he earns a spot back through hard work in practice and simplifies his game to fit in with the Flames he might be done in the NHL or 99% of the way there.
 
Pelts works hard and absorbs coaching.

			In this hypothetical world in which the Flames trade for Kakko, I think it would be awesome if bringing in Kakko didn’t cost Pelletier a lineup spot. But I’m unsure how to accomplish that. Maybe you switch Sharangovich or Kakko to centre, and you take Rooney out? 
 
Huberdeau-Kadri-Pospisil 
Coleman-Backlund-Coronato 
Sharangovich-Zary-Pelletier 
Lomberg-Rooney-Duehr

Possibly yeah. I just wouldn’t want the Flames to have to add more value to a trade because of also dumping cap in the same trade.

I don’t trust The Fourth Period all that much, but the tweets in this article are helpful. They show connected NY reporters feel confused about the decision to scratch Kakko unless it’s a precursor to a trade.

			Does sound like Kakko could be the next domino to fall in NYC. 
I don't have anything on who's got the inside track, the feeling is there's quite some serious interest. 
As I stated previously and just reconfirmed, Calgary has kept an eye on this situation. 
 
The only confirmation I received was: 
 
"If there's a player from the Rangers Calgary would be on heavily, it would be Kakko"
