everything is happening! all in all, not bad

Good for a reliable backup that can step in due to injuries.

Pretty solid backup. Seems to not have it all mentally at times, but he can still be real good if he figures it out. Thought we might be looking at a drawn out process here, but he signed without arbitration this time, which is good.

Glad that is taken care of. I know Dubnyk can be a workhorse, but I just didn't like the possibility of Stalock being our back up.

Honestly surprised. Kuemper has never really liked it here - Expected him to be gone after his last contract went into arbitration. His agent must have received zero interest. Try again next year, Darcy.

I think Kuemper might feel better about the situation now, where he is the clear #2. No more Backstrom muddying the waters. Stalock is pretty clearly behind him.

I was up until the draft. There just didn't seem to be much interest. Glad we have a quality back up. After reading Russo though I see we still have to add a 2017-18 goalie contract for expansion. Should not be tough to find one before then.

gee i wonder why he didn't hold out this time.

As a Sharks fan, I understand your fear...
