PANTHERS, JETS SWAP AHL GOALTENDERS

The Florida Panthers acquired goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen from the Winnipeg Jets for goaltender Chris Driedger.

What does it give the Florida Panthers
This is a swap of AHL goaltenders. Kahkonen is 28 years old, two years younger than Driedger. Could Kahkonen be Florida's backup netminder next year? Perhaps.

What does it give the Winnipeg Jets
The Jets obviously like Driedger more than Kahkonen as their current third-string netminder. Otherwise, this deal does not add up; Driedger has struggled in the AHL in '24-25.

Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here.
