He did miss most of last year and then a 10 month lay-off doesn't help. He doesn't belong in the top 6 but hes big, Ralph has got to get him to use his size... and he has a nice shot

What would it take to get Kuemper from the yotes. A 1st round pick, a goalie, a prospect and a sack full of money. Remember the Gretzky trade. A huge sack full of money went to the Oilers in the deal. Would the Pegulas be willing to add a nice yacht in any deal.

I wouldn’t mind Raanta either.

Not a popular name but has always had very good underlying numbers.

He looks like a hockey player but has no grit. Need that giant to get angry:

I trust McDermott will have the Bills prepared regardless”

I could see that move. Raanta has less value than kuemper. If Arizona wants to go full tmgm tank they might move both?

Seems like kuemper is a franchise goalie, they might build around as well?

I think ppl need to accept Tage just isn’t a physical player

And I’m kinda sick about hearing how good his shot supposedly is
Till he starts actually scoring with it in the NHL,
it just doesn’t mean much
But I’m hopefully wrong about him & he can pop in 15 or so this year

He’s been a good backup
Not clear if he can be depended on as a starter though

Idk if they wanna “tank” as much as they’re just trying to shed salary
From what they were saying in the offseason,
ARZ realizes that re-signing him in 2yrs would cost a lot for a 32year old goalie so they’re trying to get back young pieces that will help them grow

Could be both. Tanking is part of hockey. The Coyotes lost their 1st , 2nd and cut their 3rd rounders this draft.
They are on a one way ticket to tanksville, if they trade their goaltending.

Agree with you on the salary cut too. May they could give him 3 more years soon. Lock kuemper up for until he's 35.🤔

Looks like the the world might need a new pillow salesman.

You know with the other guy going to jail soon. ☝️

Who’s sitting? Cause I liked last nights game. Skinner has looked too good? Time to sit him? Lazar scored two goals, don’t want to inflate his value? An Eakin hurt? Dahlin out due to high stick, Asplund trying D?

Read somewhere where Ralph wanted to play Cozens only 45 games this year ? I think I remember reading that. I think. Maybe it's Cozens' turn to sit.
