Assuming Rieder is the largest piece we move this deadline. Getting someone who can step in and help now and the next couple years versus a middling pick that at best is 4 years off also helps when it comes to talking to OEL about staying or leaving.

Love this trade in so many ways:
- a constructive trade at the deadline to improve the team after learning that not having two good goalies options can demolish a season
- a clear demonstration that competition within a team is good. We have other (better/cheaper long term) solutions at LW, so no intent to keep Reider
- an emphatic message on Raanta and not the one the trade would indicate. "We want you here, but you can't do this on your own"
- a statement to OEL, Hammer and co = "better goaltending helps the D, we love our D, we want to help you"
Very very smart work from Chayka, players and coaching staff will feel good about this

Well, I'm sad to see Tobias Rieder go. He was fun. With his play he attracted attention, when the opponents focuses on one guy, it opens up a bit for the others. Seems like a high-end return though: another goalie treated like a back-up, but with good starter-stats. A goalie-tandem seems like a good plan given how the leauge forces you to pull your goalie all the time, scorpion infestations and freak highway-accidents aside. I hope they will both be in on that plan. If not, one of them will sit on the bench and think "oh man, am I supposed to just watch my whole carrier?"
I wish Rieder all luck. Except against the Yotes. But apart from that, he can start to score bucketloads.
Wild fan here. While kuemperpedic was not good for us, I generally liked the guy. Hope he plays for you all like he did for the kings. Certainly a serviceable backup this year.
That's what makes Kuemper a good bet, especially at the price on his new contract. He's better than anyone we had in the system besides Raanta so he's an immediate upgrade there.
Given his age and that he has shown flashes, inconsistent they may be, makes him ripe for breaking out.
If Raanta bolts, I'd be relatively comfortable with Kuemper + one of the other Similar UFAs we were talking about a few days before the deal. Bernier, Dell, Hutton, etc.

Liked the trade, grew tired of Rieder. But this picture stings a little.
