Confirmed Trade: [COL/ARI] Darcy Kuemper ($1M ret.) for Connor Timmins, '22 1st, and '24 cond. 3rd

[Sergei Shirokov]

Bill Armstrong is doing great work

 

[Soundgarden]

Good for the Yotes, that's a great return. 11 picks in the first two rounds this past year and next year now?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Who is going to be in goal for Arizona next year? Hill, Raanta, Kuemper all gone.

Koskinen maybe?

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Basically a first and a great young dman for a lesser goalie and 1.5 mill of cap.

 

[WaW]

Timmins really isn’t anything special but him and a first is a heavy, heavy price.

Hoping Kuemper isn’t the only piece they got in return.

Timmins has lots of upside and can easily become a middle pairing dman. His development has simply been delayed by that concussion in the OHL playoffs that sidelined him a year and because Colorado has a deep defense core that kept him out.

 

[fasterthanlight]

I literally have no idea how GMs value goalies or do asset management. Fleury is free, let Grubauer walk, trade a 1st for Kuemper, Jones gets a 2M deal. What is this madness

 

[Hitemwith4]

bill armstrong is doing a good job getting picks for the rebuild now have some good scouts and development people

Col blinked but they are SC contenders they had to do this

 

[Spilot23]

Gotta give credit to Arizona they’re having a god damn good offseason so far ! I guess we didn’t have much of a choice but that’s an overpayment.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Holtby f***ing sucks lmao this is a 10x better move then Holtby

Numbers near identical to Kuemper and they are the same age. One would cost nothing, one cost basically two low 1st rounders.

 

[redandyellowcametobe]

Because he gambled with no backup plan and lost hard. Really hard. Like harder than any GM has lost in a long time.

Huge Yikes.

Let’s not go over board

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Woof Colorado

 

[DesertPenguin]

If that's the price for Kuemper, what is the price for Gibson? Must be astronomical.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Great trade for the Coyotes. They definitely have had a great off season. Avs pay through the nose to address a need.

 

[Cynick]

So, Sakic is human. He makes panic moves like everyone else, too, sometimes.

 

[Muffin]

Numbers near identical to Kuemper and they are the same age. One would cost nothing, one cost basically two low 1st rounders.

In what world are their numbers identical? Holtby sucks lmao

 

[Foppberg]

Armstrong killing it. What Arizona's doing is what Seattle should be doing. Sakic also put himself over a barrel by misplaying his hand.

 

[boredmale]

Who is going to be in goal for Arizona next year? Hill, Raanta, Kuemper all gone.

Devan Dubnyk I believe is still available

 

[Ararana]

Timmins is injury prone himself. On Arizona he could crack the top 4, but on a contender he’s easily a bottom pairing guy.

Good kid, Arizona will like him for sure. I’m just not super high on high in relation to talents on the Avs blue line.

 

[PAZ]

Gross.

 

[CupofOil]

Who is going to be in goal for Arizona next year? Hill, Raanta, Kuemper all gone.

Koskinen hopefully.

 

[Puckstop40]

Jesus Christ what an overpayment. Sakic was due for a terrible trade. Awful. Truly awful trade for Colorado.

 

[Foppberg]

I don't have a ton of faith in Timmins, and we suck at drafting outside of the top 10 so Avs wise I don't think it's horrible. But in a vacuum it's bad.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Numbers near identical to Kuemper and they are the same age. One would cost nothing, one cost basically two low 1st rounders.

How in the hell do they have identical numbers lmao.


Holtby hasn't put up a .900 sv% in 2 years now. he's trash tier.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Get another asset(s) to take Koskinen off Edmonton & your laughing.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Salic got pumped hard! Couldn’t get JTC dumped in that deal. What a horrible deal.
