Even with your parameters I don't believe this is true- check out his skates, he intended to turn before he got major contact by Dumo.
Kakko is attempting to make the same move that Kreider made on the shorthanded goal- they have scouted CDS and that's the maneuver to make, not bowl him over for some odd reason
Just because he's trying to make a different move before contact with Dumoulin happens doesn't mean he's trying to avoid contact with DeSmith once that contact happens. I don't believe Kakko's prior intention is at all material to the "reasonable attempt" part of the rule for goaltender interference.
