Confirmed Trade: [SJS/MIN] Kaapo Kahkonen and 2022 5th round pick for Jacob Middleton

[BuiumSaveUs]

He broke a rumor that was like 3 days old?

No but he broke it when it was official first

 

[Vitto79]

Oilers or Leafs need this lol

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

I thought Kahkonen was good even with Fleury why not keep Kahkonen as a backup?

Also didnt TSN report Min wasnt going to trade their 1st this year

​

This would be a pick in the 30s if conditions are met, more palatable to trade it in that scenario where the team goes on a run and Fleury contributes to it.

No, he repeated a known rumor and had lucky timing. If he actually broke the trade he would have given it an E5 or E10 or whatever arbitrary scale he uses.

 

[MisterT]

Coyotes only have 1 goalie. im assuming they will be getting one today at some point.

They are grabbing Mrazek for free

 

[JoeSakic13]

Watch it be Florida. Cuz **** you, that’s why.

 

[absolute garbage]

KK has a lot of talent and potential but has been very inconsistent. Sometimes he gets on a roll and looks unbeatable, sometimes it seems he can't stop a beach ball.

That's not a great backup quality. I think you want to put him into a situation where he plays a lot and hopefully gets on a roll and then see what comes out of that long term.

But he's still young so he can figure it out. Could go either way with him, goalies are weird.

 

[AngryScotsman]

Would like to see him in Toronto, a bit nervous with what we would have to give up though.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

no he got Chairot

We really are in the worst timeline when the Atlantic Division becomes a warzone and Eklund breaks trades.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Wonder what the hold up is, maybe its the Leafs bc they are waiting on Mrazeks waiver status...

 

[Jormungandr]

Or Sateri.

[Skinnyjimmy08]

The year of Eklund this year... he has redeemed himself breaking all these trades

Probably one of the players refusing to answer the phone on trade deadline day LOL.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

What did we give up tho

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

Eklund had Kahkonen to SJ before anyone else too. Guess the guy might have sources after all:
18mins ago:
Now:

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Do we have to start respecting Eklund again?
This also probably means Reimer or Hill is on the move is on the move

 

[Siignal]

Sharks?

 

[JoeSakic13]

What did we give up tho

Hertl+

 

[beowulf]

Makes sense and then it does not given he is the youngest of the 3 (Fleur 37 and Talbot soon to be 35)

 

[joepeps]

Would like to see him in Toronto, a bit nervous with what we would have to give up though.

Why? MAF got a 2nd lol and he would be the 3rd goalie there. not even good enough for Minny.... 3rd rounder?

 

[CupInSIX]

Weeksie's in the Overlook Hotel and I'm kind of worried

Mike Smith to Arizona. E5.

 

[Nucks for the Cup]

Eklund is just pulling us in right now and right at the deadline gonna drop a bomb that is completely untrue
