On Monday's episode of the "First Up" podcast, NHL insider Darren Dreger shared his thoughts on Kaapo Kakko’s future with the New York Rangers. Kakko is on a one-year $2.4 million contract which will end after this season.

Dreger said that Kakko has never seemed comfortable playing for the team.

"And I'm sure if the Kaapo Kakko is being honest, he would save time for a change." Dreger said, "Now I'm not suggesting that, you know he's requested the trade, so let's not misinterpret what I'm saying. I'm just saying that he's never, to me looked comfortable playing with the New York Rangers."
