New York Rangers make major announcement about Kaapo Kakko
The New York Rangers have re-signed former second overall pick and pending RFA forward Kaapo Kakko.
According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, the New York Rangers and Kaapo Kakko have agreed to terms on a one-year contract worth $2.4 million, which was what his qualifying offer would have been at the end of June.
"#NYR re-up Kaapo Kakko on a one-year deal at $2.4 million, which is exactly what his qualifying offer was slated to be later this month. Rangers get some cost certainty." Seravalli said.
Kakko, a native of Turku, Finland saw a pretty big dip in his production during the 2023-24 campaign when compared to 2022-23. In 61 games this season, Kakko had 19 points (13 goals, six assists), 24 penalty minutes and was a plus-six.
During the playoffs, in a bit of a reduced role, Kakko only recorded two points (one goal, one assist) in 15 games as the Rangers lost to the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Final.
More to come.
