If the Dives succeed anywhere as near as this past season, that first-rounder the Yotes are getting is almost a second round pick.  So the pick’s most likely going to be between 32 and 24. 

But it’s a deep and talented 2022 NHL draft class according to some NHL scouting prognosticators so it’ll be interesting to see who the Yotes will draft.  And they need a foundation to start their rebuild.

Probably the best move left for them.  When healthy, Kuemper’s capable of leading the league in quality starts.

Kuemper can be a difference maker if he can stay healthy.

Colorado arguably needed an upgrade in goal anyway.

Grubauer is good but paying him as much as Seattle did for as long as they did
- on top of paying Landeskog 8x7M - was prohibitive.

Meanwhile I’m curious about Carolina’s moves.
Anderssen will have a better defense in front of him.
And Raanta is quite a capable backup when healthy.
Wonder what Bernier was asking from them? And what they offered
Mrazek assuming they were open to re-signing him.

So much goalie shuffling going on.
And yes: feel for Buffalo. Hard to blame Ullmark for walking.
It just sucks to see a bunch of capable vets give them Bruins reasonable deals.
No one needs to do that franchise any additional favors.

Hearing Arizona will be bringing in a 60lb sack of potatoes as their new starter.

Once scored 50 goals in juniors…as a goalie.

If it’s not obvious ARI is tanking now after trading away their #1 defenseman, 2nd leading scorer in Garland, backup goalie, letting their 1b goalie leave via FA and now they trade their #1 goalie, then I don’t know what else they could do. This is crazy

Just look at Glendale’s cap friendly page. LOL

Buffalo already beat them to signing Craig Anderson at minimum or close, so the
Sabres won’t let Arizona tank cost-effectively without a fight.

Wow, did Sakic get bent over the bench or what.  A 1st, a 3rd and Conor Timmins, wow.  Kuemper is a UFA and if they make a run this year, he obviously performed, I’m unsure how they fit in a new contract for him with the other demands, they’re back in this position again next year.

Colorado missed their alarm today?
