As the New York Rangers continue to swirl, a Kaapo Kakko to the Minnesota Wild trade rumor surfaced. The young player, who was drafted second overall in 2019, hasn't been able to get things going this year, and it prompted the rumor that he might be on the move. The Rangers reportedly considered trading virtually anyone as they have lost 10 of 13 contests.

However, one hockey insider believes the rumor that the Wild are going to add Kakko is untrue. When asked outright if there was, Michael Russo responded simply but effectively.
