Let's keep it simple. I like the Leafs skaters. I would like to upgrade on Freddy Andersen.
Andersen + 2021 1st (top 3 protected) for Kuemper
The Coyotes cut payroll with Andersen making only $1 million. They get a desperately needed 1st round pick and a competent starter if they want to try and make the playoffs. Or, an additional asset to flip at the deadline if things go badly.
The Leafs get a better starter with an extra year of control for $500k less against the cap. They lose a valuable 1st rounder, but I believe the 2021 draft seems a little weak and they already have a fairly deep prospect pool imo.
