Why would Arizona trade Kuemper?
He was one of the main reasons why the Coyotes were even in a playoff spot this season.

Sell high and get a replacement goalie this summer when there are tons available.
Also need picks after the combine penalty.

If you’re a GM, why go to Arizona if you have no draft picks and aren’t allowed to make trades?
Rick Tocchet is a scam. Kuemper was facing 40-plus shots every playoff game. A lot of high danger ones too.
Fair to say that if the Flames don't make a step next year that Treliving is done? So he may be a little more all-in this offseason?
I don't see this, Oliver Ekman-Larsson's cap hit is too much and Darcy Kuemper is 30 years old. And this does not solve the Flames need for a #1 center and how will the cap work for the Flames?
This is just Elliotte Friedman throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks.
The Flames don’t really have the assets to make that trade do they? Unless they trade a good young roster player.
I think it is fair to say that but one of big issues was that Ken King(RIP) was too involved in the on ice player personnel decsisions.

Johnny Hockey for OEL. Make it happen.
Then sign Taylor Hall to replace Gaudreau.
Then wave a magic wand and fit it all under the cap.

Hahahahaha! Did you watch any of their playoff games? They’re a tire fire defensively. Their entire defense revolves around closing their eyes and praying that Kuemper can stop 44 of 45 shots against.
If they are actually trying to do this, Arizona is Ottowa 2.0.
Look at OEL's salary for the next three years.
Kuemper's is also above his AAV, and without him, Arizona is a team... maybe...

that's nearly 13 million in salary, and 19 for Kuemper is fair-ish value, I suppose.
I'd guess they'd offer something along the lines of Hanifin+Ryan+19th+2021 2nd and maybe a prospect like Phillips or something, but that would basically be it for Flames moves this offseason.

Arizona has no draft picks, no future, and no way out of mediocrity. They need to acquire younger assets and attempt to supplement what young talent they still have. The team as constructed will never contend.
So, having said all of that, what are their two best trade chips over 25? That’s right, OEL and Kuemper. It’s pretty easy to figure.

Kuemper is definitely not a product of the Coyotes. He's always been a very talented goaltender that's struggled more with the mental aspect of the position. He can stand on his head behind a bad defense and stop 40+ saves, or he could give up one and it'll cascade into four. As he's gotten older he's gotten more consistent, but he's still not 100% there, and might never be. He's still a better option than Rittich or Talbot in my opinion.
He'd get injured on the flight to Calgary.
This there will be a team that will give up a 1st for him but it shouldn't be Calgary...high end goalie who is going to be looking for term and cash next season is not a need for the Flames
