    Default wedgewood/rieder for Kuemper

    Not sure I understand this one. Do know that Kuemper went from a serviceable back up on LA to an afterthought in AZ. Maybe a prelude to another deal but I do find this one to be a head scratcher.

    Why is he an afterthought in Arizona? He just got there LOL!

    He was playing like a starter in LA, but then again, a lot of goalies come out of LA looking like gold and falter elsewhere.

    Sorry, fantasy afterthought. I had confidence with the Kings playing in front of him. Not so much now. He did ink an extension with AZ so they must see something in him. I thought he was decent when given a chance in Minny and AZ is playing better since hjalmarsson has gotten back...but still...even when he's in nets now I'll be watching the match ups more closely.

    I am guessing the Kings asked Kuemper what he was looking for on his next contract and didn't like what they heard. He gets 1.8 AAV from Coyotes which is pretty good for a backup. He's played well though so he earned it. They get Wedgie and Rieder, a guy to add to their forward depth. It's an odd trade because we don't often see goalie swaps, but it kinda makes sense to me.

    Maybe Kuemper also saw a chance to play more in Az. Still, would love to see the Islanders solve two problems by trading Halak/package for OEL/Raanta.

    I wonder if Arizona realizes that Kuemper is not that great? I mean he was awful in Minnesota and hardly reliable. He was OK as a backup but nothing special. i think the Kings' defence made him look much better than what he actually is.
