Kakko and Trouba had zero value. Maybe negative value. They were both terrible and NYR fans couldnt wait to drive them to the airport.
I disagree with you on this. There was no pressure to trade either except in Drurys small mind. KK never had the chance here, third line minutes, no PP time and Trouba was hurt. When trading assets you need to get some assets back. Borgen was a waste and Trouba just signed another 8m per contract so someone thinks Trouba was worth something.
