That was the situation a little over year ago.
So in fairness Talbot has done better than I originally thought but Kahkonen has besides Kaprizov obviously, been the Wild's best player for the last month or so. And IMO in the big picture outplayed Talbot this season.
So back to the original argument: will the continue to hose Kahkonen and stick to the infamous Wild Goaltending Strategy for the past 20 years that the older you are, the better you are?
Throw your best guess: What team do you think will throw insane money to acquire Kahkonen as their #1 goalie for next season? The list of teams with none such is long.
Beyond stupidity to see Kahkonen play at this level as anyone's back-up anymore.
