It's actually hilarious how incompetent the Avs are with visa issues.

A guy who has played EXCLUSIVELY in the United States since coming over to the NHL aside from his brief camp stint in Winnipeg this year is having trouble getting to Denver because the Avs are pathetically slow.

I could get people from India here before the Avs. Okay, maybe not but I'd put in more of an effort!

With the way the team looks it actually might be better we don't play this guy before we absolutely break his confidence too.

There is certainly a way since guys like Kakohnen are not that different than guys like Adin Hill or Joey Daccord or quite honestly quite a few 'journeymen goalies' who end up - at one point, in the right stop with the right opportunity and end up making the most of it.

Obviously, there is more of a likelihood that it won't work and that they'll need to explore the trade market but you can't absolutely rule it out either that he won't make the most of an excellent opportunity - probably the best he's had since he's been in the league.
To tell you the truth, I don't know if that bloke Kahkonen can be Avs savior.
