Love this deal. 2-Way for 1st year. 1-Way for 2nd. Avoids arbitration and assures Kakhonen we're moving in his direction. Assures Stalock that he's either going to get traded before contract's up in 2022 or he'll just become a free agent.

I like him over Talbot especially with that 3 year term tied to Talbot's contract.

Minnesota has a couple picks they can use to keep him. I think they'll trade a pick or two for Seattle to take someone.

They'll probably protect Kappo and expose Talbot/Stalock. Unless I'm wrong, the 8 Skater option is 8 + 1 for goalie. So no need to entice Seattle.
