Speculation: Kuemper Close to being Traded?

[DistantThunderRep]

I wonder if Buffalo takes a stab. Because seriously...what the hell is Buffalo doing? Does anyone know? Does Buffalo know?

I honestly don’t see the Flames moving their 1st for Kuemper. But I think Rittich has to be going the other way (cap reasons) and another 1 or 2 good pieces in terms of futures. I think they offer a 2nd and a good prospect or young player.

So, possibly:

To Arizona:

Darnell Nurse
Mikko Koskinen

To Edmonton:

Oliver Ekman Larsson
Darcy Kuemper

Picks and prospects to balance it out going from Edmonton to Arizona, with cap dump(s) to make the money work???

I like Kuemper and all but I'd be leery of picking up a goalie coming from the system that Arizona plays. Tochet (and seemingly any Arizona coach) employs a down right structured and stifling system which benefits a goalie.

This actually cost ARI more money this year than it saves them. OEL has already been paid 4M of the 8M he is owed this year in signing bonuses. Him and Kuemper together add up to 7.5M of actual money still owed, Koskinen and Nurse add up to 8.9M

Arizona allowed the 9th most shots in the regular season and 2nd most in the playoffs. Rick Tocchet is a fraud.

I think people are reasoning that the issue of money is long term for Arizona. They lose real cash in year one, $1.4M, but already gain $4.9M in year 2. Unless they chose to trade Nurse/Koskinen of course.

The move does save Arizona $2.65M in caphit, so that would probably also be a factor.

Just to be clear, I don't really think this will happen, but if it does I actually do see the money making sense for Arizona even if it would not be ideal year one.

 

[spockBokk]

Jake Bean + Reimer (owed less than $1M in real cash) for Kuemper?

Oilers add big time...likely a 1st

plus, Koskinen is fine as a 1B

 

[Del Preston]

Has it been posted that JMarshyBosco is never right? He's worse than Eklund.

According to a lot of Yotes fans that's smoke & mirrors. Kuemper actually gets shelled most nights. Really, the only offense that Tocchet suppresses is his own.

No but maybe something around Reimer and Raanta.

Love it.

I dont see any situation where they are taking back a Goalie. Adin Hill is ready to make the jump its its better to give him ice time than not.

I feel like we in LA should receive a 2nd rounder or something.

or Tobi Rieder back.......

Stauffer of the Oilers seems to be hinting that Calgary has offered their first this year.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Calgary picks 16th, Edmonton 20.......hmm

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Calgary picks 16th, Edmonton 20.......hmm

Edmonton pick is 14th

 

[AZviaNJ]

Edmonton pick is 14th

my bad

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Calgary picks 16th, Edmonton 20.......hmm

Calgary's pick is #19.
I will be annoyed if they move this years 1st. We desperately need a high end center prospect and there are a lot available around 20

Where is he hinting this?

Hope to the god this is not true, if it is, Trevling is fired.

They need another hasek to compete.

Trying to find the time stamp now.

Edmonton is 14 and Calgary is 19. The bubble happened.
