Due to this, let’s discuss three teams who could look to acquire him before the start of the season from here.Minnesota Wild: The Minnesota Wild could look to add another forward to their top nine this offseason. When looking at their current roster, it is clear that they could use a bit more production, and Kakko could give them that if he takes that next step in his development.Calgary Flames: The Calgary Flames are retooling, so they are in a position to take a chance on a former top prospect like Kakko. Kakko would have a real shot of playing top-six minutes if acquired by the Flames. In addition, if he broke out for the Flames, he could be a long-term answer for them as they continue to build up their club. Buffalo Sabres: The Buffalo Sabres have been connected to Kakko since the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline, and it would not be surprising if they went for him.
