Don't hate it as the hawks, I think Kaapo has starter potential and the hawks really need someone to push Commesso in the future.
Only thing I think we will want is a 22' 2nd or prospect due to our shallow prospect pool. There is an oversupply of goalies which can be picked up in the off season on a free or low cost trade.
MAF isn't needed! How do you think the lockerroom will react to it, much less Talbot? There's no reason to trade Kaapo for an older g whose been worse this year, and could bring down Talbot confidence.

Change Carter yo 3rd round pick.
MAF and Billy G played together in Pitt so there's a history there. Billy G kicked the tires on MAF before signing talbot and its a cheap price to pay for a guy that certainly gives you significantly more confidince than KK starting a playoff game this year.

Not enough for MAF. Lankinen/Kappo would be a nice duo though.

Hawks get a goalie with solid upside and a solid bottom 6 center who is signed for next year, maybe billy ups it to a 3rd round pick but this is similar to the deal the hawks got for lehner, who was younger and better at the time.
