I think what NJ paid for Markstrom is kinda nuts. We need to upgrade, but dealing a first and a decent kid for a 34 yr old...at that point I'd consider going with 3 goalies again and planning on none of them playing over 30 games.

Or, you know bringing up a kid that turns 22 one month into the season.
wouldn't be against it but I don't know jack about goalies. If Husso is still around, I'd expect Cossa to be up by necessity at some point regardless.

Eh, Devils are trying to compete and it’s nearly impossible to compete in this league without competent goaltending. I’m not enamored with Markstrom, but if he can give them league average goaltending for a couple years I think they probably get their value there.
Like if Lyon regresses back to the mean, and if Husso doesn’t bounce back, we are cooked. It almost doesn’t matter what the rest of the roster looks like, within reason. I think that’s a risk that Detroit can probably take this year, I get why New Jersey isn’t willing to run that risk.

if New Jersey was willing to give up that much for a Goalie I think they should have held out for Ullmark or Saros
that's the worst part of the trade in my opinion, I get that they were desperate but there's better Goalies out there

I think Markstrom is still a good goalie and he should help them be even more competitive. With the package they sent, I may have tried for a younger goalie.

The desperation is in the air and Yzerman is currently quiet... I like it.

That's one for one with no retention?
Wow great trade for the Kings. I guess the Capitals are hoping maybe on his FOURTH team by the age of 25 maybe PLD will play like he gives a shit?

Doubt it. I'm glad SY wasn't involved in this one.

Seems like the Caps could've brought Mantha back and got half-assed play from a talented forward for a lot cheaper and less term.
Even if Kuemper sucks with the KINGS, getting out of that PLD contract is still a win for LA.

That's quite the turnaround from LA:

"We need to make him better," Blake said Monday, while also confirming that he'll remain the general manager for the Kings. "He's had a consistent performance over his career so far and deviated from that this year. It's up to us to help him become more productive to us."

GTFO. Now.

Have them make friends with Lindgren. Apparently Washington will do all sorts of crazy things for him.

Yeah and with Brock Faber busting out, Blake's trade history sure is something...

they probably thought they couldn't get rid of him without retention and he'd be back next year when they said that to be fair
i'm surprised Washington agreed to it with no retention like that, even if you look at Kuemper as a pure cap dump(which I don't think is entirely fair, he was bad this year sure but he was almost as good in 2022 as Markstrom and look how much Markstrom is still living off that year, plus he was better in Arizona before that than Markstrom ever was in Vancouver)

I guess they figured the Oilers are going to win Friday night at home, thus doubling the buyout amount
The Kings do need a goalie, Kuemper did shine for them many, many moons ago.

It's almost like all the GMs in the league was trying to wait for Florida to win game 5 to start wheeling and dealing. Then they didn't win so the GMs said to hell with it and started up the violence.

Vancouver just extended a bad long-term contract, when they finally were getting rid of Myers.

Petry, may be another contract that has to be moved.
Petry's cap hit is fine, even for a 3rd pairing defenseman. He has one year left and an NMC.
