If Colorado offered Kuemper like 5-6 years x 4.25m-4.75m you have to at least think about it. Its one thing to get your payday, its another to not play for teams like Arizona your whole career.
It's teams like Chicago, Washington, Toronto and Edmonton looking for starters. The duds looking for a goalie are Buffalo and New Jersey.
League average pay for a starting goalie is 5.5 to 6.5 million and offering less than league average would be an insult. If he wanted to stay he would take league average. If Sakic will pay it is another matter considering Francouz played better and Sakic historically lowballs goalies.
He isn't taking a low deal equal to what he just made after a career year and a cup. He made league minimum for most of his career outside of 2 years in Arizona.
