I would prefer Krejci over Stasny. He would be worth a 1st at the tdl for sure.

Not sure what your view on Kakohnen is, but I were MIN I would be way more worried about loosing him than Soucy.

My honest opinion, MIN should give up a first to protect Kako and Soucy,

and that would still be worth it for MIN

I really don't think so. Kahk fell apart in the second half this year. Scouts for years have called him as topping out at a backup.

Soucy has been a good 3rd LD, but he's been protected by Suter and Brodin ahead of him. I'm not sure he's a top 4D.

We need prospects and our cup window is at least 2 years away. I'd keep the first.

The team forgot to show up in a few of those really bad losses (6-0, 9-1, and 7-3 last game of the season) plus he was getting a game maybe once a week. Also Talbot was bad to end the regular season too (sub .900 sv% his last 14 games).

The more often goalie KK played the better, or more consistent, he was.

Yeah that's all fair

I’d also add that he is following right in line with what Kuemper did… stretches of great play and stretches of very poor play… I am not ready to say that KK will put it together as a bona fide #1, but I am also not ready to call him a career backup. I suspect he will end up somewhere in between… and that’s worth keeping around if you can

For Kemps it was all in his head. He had more skill, better movement. and positioning than Dub ever had in MN. It's just as soon as a puck went past him he'd fall apart.

Goalie KK isn't near as polished as Kemps. He's a scramble goalie, but seems to need to be playing to be effective.

I am terrible at knowing what I am looking at when it comes to goalies... I like your description. I just assumed that KK needed more games because he tired out as the season wore on.
