The $1.85mm/year suggests that Kuemper is a backup only, doesn't it? Going into next year with Kuemper and either Adin Hill or a even lower-paid goalie to act as Kuemper's backup seems like malpractice.
Interesting to see him get an extension right away as well. Wonder how this affects Antti Raanta going forward as he's a free agent at seasons end as well.

Also....Darcy Kuemper is getting a two-year extension from ARI as part of this trade from LAK. AAV on Kuemper extension is $1.85M. Tobias Rieder and Scott Wedgewood going to LA, as @FriedgeHNIC and @craigsmorgan reported.

ARI retains 15 per cent of Rieder contract. Rieder on final year of contract with AAV of $2.225M. RFA at season’s end.

Arizona isn't a big spender so I wouldn't put much stock into Kuemper's salary. He might end up being their #1 goalie moving forward.
Nice job by the Kings to sell high. Quick is their guy and they gained a depth scorer out of this. Meanwhile Arizona might do the same with Raanta in the coming days.

Wiw, this is an interesting trade. Kuemper has done really well for the Kings this season.. Sucks for Kuemps!!

Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Perfect time for fantasy GMs to sell high on Kuemper. He, like so many, played well in LA. Will be interesting to see what his numbers look like in Arizona. I expect a drastic turn for the worse.

I don't see this making much sense for Arz. Feel like they could have just gotten a pick/prospect for Reider, not had to eat cap, and still had Wedgewood who has been decent this season.

Eklund is spouting off that NYI are kicking tires hard on Raanta which is what precipitated this move. I see it as more of a move to solidify their goaltending. Raanta's been really decent this year all things considered with that team. I think they resign him Chayka hasn't been looking for just kids to fill his line up. still not sure he's got a full plan for this team

Scenario 1: Raanta is dealt or leaves as a UFA - at least they have someone to play goal along with whoever else they pick up.
Scenario 2: If Raanta re-signs then they have a decent backup and/or cannon fodder for the rough nights. They don't have any NHL-ready prospects in goal.
I get it from their perspective.

Both of your scenarios make sense, but my qualm with it is, why couldn't Wedgewood have filled that same role, costing them less in salary, and leaving Reider open as a trade chip for something else, or as an RFA to be brought back next year?
Backup goalie wasn't a hole for them. There are so many other holes to fill on this team. They took what wasn't a weakness, and beefed it up, while just creating another hole at F.
