Good for Kuemper. He will get a chance to be a #1 goalie in Phoenix. Quick is still the present and Petersen is being groomed to be the future.
Reider is only 25 years of age and seems to be having a down season. Hope this is a buy low situation for the Kings.

surprising to hear given kuemper's performance lately but we definitely sold high. dude took his time here like a champ and he's being rewarded with a solid paycheck and a solid role so i'm happy for him.
sounds like rieder is fast and a controllable asset so it's a plus for the kings imo

the guys first three seasons he's posted 13, 14, and 16 goals, and last couple have been mid-30s in points

It's kinda funny, I noticed that he was suddenly listed as 6'2 when he got moved from the Devils to Arizona. He was seemingly listed at 6'0 or 6'1 during his time in the Devils system. He is noticeably smaller than Keith Kinkaid who is listed as 6'2 or 6'3.

I totally forgot about Michael Cammalleri.
Crazy how many peeps have been in and out this season.

I think the Islanders might make a move for a goalie and a defenseman. That could free up one of Halak/Greiss. They both have bad numbers, but the Islanders play the worst team defense in the NHL. I think Halak makes an excellent backup.

I just hope whoever we have as back-up can fill Kuemper's shoes, because he was instrumental in us staying in the playoff race.

I wonder if this means Arizona is getting calls on Raanta? He's an UFA at seasons end, maybe they want to maximize the asset before March 1. He's been pretty good this year.
They have Kuemper now signed so it seems logical.
I'll be interested to see how Kuemper does in the desert. Good luck to him, he was solid here and bailed the Kings most nights between the pipes.

Step 1: Sign goaltender with potential
Step 2: Develop goaltender
Step 3: Trade goaltender
Step 4: Profit; rinse and repeat
I wasn't a fan of the Phaneuf trade, but I love this move. Kuemper, though a good goalie, wasn't gonna re-sign over the summer and his value is at an all-time high. Flip him and get a speedy LW who's an RFA at season's end.
Once Carter and Lewis come back, Rieder - Kempe - Lewis will be a blazing third line. It'll be great to have a bottom-six mostly composed of players who contribute offensively and not just go for hits and take penalties.
I also think it's a good deal for ARI since Kuemper showed some great flashes this season. Hopefully he doesn't bite the Kings in the ass going forward.
edit: A little bit concerned about the backup goaltending situation. Not comfortable with Wedgewood should Quick go down. Mayor suggested he might be on the move in favor of Campbell, but not comfortable with him, either.

The pressure has always been on Quick and he's done pretty well with it.

Just to stay healthy Imo. He was going to start most of the games down the stretch anyhow. Imo the kings lost 4 games from kuemper the rest of the season.

Its A Kingspiracy !
The Bishop trade needed to happen a month(s) before it did to make it viable. No big loss, worth the risk .

I am almost certain that the Kings are going to send Amadio back to Ontario, which I think is total crap, but we will see.
This is an amazing deal though, Blake knows how tough this team is to beat when they get scoring from the bottom six.
What I would do.
Iafallo - Kopitar - Brown
Pearson - Carter - Toffoli
Kempe - Amadio - Rieder
Thompson - Mitchell - Lewis
What I think Stevens will do.
Iafallo - Kopitar - Brown
Pearson - Carter - Toffoli
Rieder - Kempe - Lewis
Clifford - Thompson - Mitchell

Hutchinson is also out with a concussion at the moment. Jets have lots of faith in Eric Comrie (and he's finally started to put it together in AHL this year) so Hutch could probably be had for a mid to late pick. He will be looking for an NHL opportunity next year for sure. Looks like he might have a Jason Labarbera type career.
This is a fantastic deal for the Kings, IMO. Kuemper is another decent backup guy like Scrivens was but easily replaceable. Reider is a great add that can play up and down the lineup. Wedgewood/Campbell as backups is a mite concerning, but considering it'll probably only be 3-4 games down the stretch it's ok. And Kings can go out and get another reclamation project like Kuemper in the off-season (Hutch as mentioned above would probably be a good one).

I think Reider sounds like a younger Lewis lots of speed good defensively plays pk well and misses on breakaways Could we be setting up for a Lewis for futures type deal ? Its going to be a interesting 5 days coming. No way are we done

Start up the Bandwagon!
I like the look of the top roster but I'd put in Brodzinski over Thompson. I don't think Stevens will run any lineup we pick, but...
Iafallo--Kopitar--Brown
Pearson--Carter--Toffoli
Kempe--Amaido--Rieder
Lewis--Mitchell--Brodzinski
Wow!
