Kakko was traded to the Seattle Kraken by the New York Rangers on Dec. 18, 2024, for Will Borgen and a third-and sixth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. He played for Finland at the 4 Nations Face-Off, signed a three-year, $13.575 million contract with the Kraken on July 22, 2025, after setting a new NHL career high of 44 points. He helped Team Finland win bronze at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.
The forward earned a two-year contract he signed with the Rangers as a restricted free agent July 28, 2022, after he had 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists) in 43 regular-season games and five points (two goals, three assists) in 19 Stanley Cup Playoff games to help the Rangers advance to the Eastern Conference Final, a six-game loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. He signed another one-year contract June 13, 2024, once again avoiding restricted free agency.
Kaako was No. 1 in NHL Central Scouting's final ranking of International skaters for the 2019 draft and signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Rangers on July 11, 2019. He had 23 points (10 goals, 13 assists) in 66 games as a rookie, third-most by a teenager in the NHL behind Carolina Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov and Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin. His 17 points (nine goals, eight assists) in 48 games the following season were tied for sixth among NHL players age 20 or younger. Kaako also led the Rangers (minimum 10 games) in SAT percentage (54.3 percent), was fourth in takeaways (31) and fifth in individual shot attempts per 60 minutes of ice time at 5-on-5 (12.08).
Kaako's career in Europe was highlighted with 22 goals as a rookie in 2018-19 for TPS of Liiga, Finland's top professional league, that broke Aleksander Barkov's Liiga record of 21 by under-18 players, set in 2012-13. The milestone earned Kaako Liiga Rookie of the Year.
Kakko's third-period goal gave Finland a 3-2 victory against the United States to win the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship. He is the youngest player to win World Juniors, the IIHF World Championship (2019) and the IIHF Under-18 World Championship (2018).
