Re: Kahkonen value
I'm certainly not convinced that the Wild front office are confident and comfortable with their current goaltending. The Wild have 29 Mil in CAP space to work with. They need to sign Kaprizov and Fiala but even if they overpay for both they still have a lot of CAP available to land a big fish. Interesting, because there are still a considerable number of " big fish" Goalies on the market that could take the starting job in Minnesota and if they so choose, the Wild have the CAP to make that happen. All this to say that Kahkonen's value and opportunity are very much up in the air IMO. Kahkonen is a decent gaolie prospect and if you pay a fair price he is worth acquiring but, you should pay that fair price understanding that the road to a full time goaltending gig in Minnesota may be longer than you think. If you can wait until this gets resolved one way or the other that might be the best course of action. Still, this might be a good time to pursue a deal but don't pay the price associated with a starting or a 1A/1B goalie, rather pay the price for a decent goalie prospect.
