And yes getting one-way money should punch a ticket out of town for Kuemper or Raanta, or both.
If both were moved who would be the starter/backup
Hill has decent potential. I don’t think Arizona sees him as a starter long term but he’s a big goalie and a perfect project for goalie coach Corey Schwab. He is gigantic and just playing to his size and a little more calm would be of big benefit to him.
Hill is the backup for sure.
Starter TBD.
He's a promising young goalie and certainly gives them the option to make a trade. But he was also pretty much guaranteed to re-sign, so that isn't anything we didn't know yesterday.
We now know Hill is on a one-way which means someone else is definitely moving. It's not just "probably moving a goalie". Someone is going. Maybe both.so that isn't anything we didn't know yesterday.
I would think Raanta would be kept until the deadline who knows
Raants is a helluva goalie but the injury history makes him a tough sell for sure. One idea I think could work is Raanta to Buffalo for Johansson.
Lots of options for AZ's starter. Vegas is going to have to pay up for someone to take MAF. Colorado could flip Grubauer. Andersen could be an option but not sure it makes sense to move a pick for him and effectively dent the return for Kuemper. Some good options in UFA too like Holtby that cost only cash.
Unless Kuemper was in a potential Andersen deal.
Arizona is cutting budget right? welk Andersen's salary this coming season is 1 million Kuemper's is 3.5 million cash
All buy confirms Keumpfer trade.
Coyotes can't afford 800k in the minors.
I see no reason to move on from Grubauer for anything other than clear upgrade. And given their health, neither Kuemper or Raanta are that.Raants is a helluva goalie but the injury history makes him a tough sell for sure. One idea I think could work is Raanta to Buffalo for Johansson.

There's plenty of budget left in real dollars. The cap figure is an illusion.
How much budget do you think they have?
