The New York Rangers announced in the final minutes the signing of Kaapo Kakko to a one-year contract worth $2.4 million, putting an end to speculation about his future.
At 23 years old, Kakko, a first-round pick in 2019, scored 13 goals and recorded 6 assists for a total of 19 points in 61 games this season, with 2 points in the playoffs.
This contract could be his last chance to prove his talent after a disappointing season despite his evident abilities.
