    Default Desmith or Kahkonen

    Feeling like Minny will lean more on Talbot rest of the way, does Desmith have a better chance at playing more in Pitt? Not looking just for volume, GAA and % are just as important...

    I'd want Kahkonen here. I think Jarry plays more than Talbot too.

    Khakonen by a mile for me. Why do you expect them to lean on Talbot? I don’t own Khakonen but thought he was having a very good season. Even if they are playing the hot hand temporarily. I’m pretty sure he’s the future GK in Minny, unless Hunter Jones emerges and reaches his ceiling, which at this point doesn’t seem probable.

    So I’m not sure, even if Khakonen is slumping or something, why they would hand the reigns over to Talbot. They need Khakonen to keep developing and prioritizing Talbot over him, seems like the wrong way to go about that. Especially concerning Khakonen confidence.


    And yea, I can’t see DeSmith even playing THAT often behind Jarry.

    I'd trust Talbot less than Jarry to be healthy, and also the East division is tougher. So give me Kahkonen.

    After another loss last night, looking like Talbot will be getting majority of starts in the near future at least... last night was Khakonens 2nd start in last 2 weeks. Long term I realize Khahkonen is the guy, my initial post was for this year only. I dropped Khak for Desmith, if/when Jarry returns i will re-assess

    I dropped Kahkonen doe DeSmith today. Great season for Kahk, but unless Talbot is injured he won't see many starts for the rest of this season.
