Trade involving Kaapo Kakko between Canadiens and Rangers? Things are heating up
While all eyes are on Trevor Zegras and Martin Necas for the Montreal Canadiens, Kaapo Kakko could follow in the footsteps of Alex Newhook.
Last season, as everyone was focusing solely on Pierre-Luc Dubois, Kent Hughes surprised fans by opting for a less costly solution with Alex Newhook.
