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

[Mark Stones Spleen]

That will be part of the next 50/50 raffle. Instead of getting cash, one lucky fan will get to be starting goalie.

It really is going to be 50/50 because there are only going to be 2 people in the stands.

(It's a joke, yes I know Ottawa has the same problem).

 

[RickyLafleur]

So many decent-good options on the market this year and Sakic trades a 1st+ for an injury prone goalie lmao.

 

[JoemAvs]

Dvorak is worth twice as much as Kuemper.

Clearly not today and to Sakic .

BA played a blinder. If you guys can fix your drafting, you can for once be very happy with the direction of your franchise (even though you guys will suck for a few years).

 

[Foppberg]

Dvorak is worth twice as much as Kuemper.

Or... just give him to us

Question...

Why is this still considered a rumour as opposed to confirmed? What constitutes confirmed?
Is there more potentially involved?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Who is the goalie in Arizona now?

They’ll pick one up. They have five 2nd rounders in the next draft and two 1sts. I think they can afford a conditional 2nd for Georgiev. Or maybe Vladar?

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Congratulations Arizona. You just made a great deal. We got bent over. Bad planning by Sakic and panic move.

Disgusting.

Usually it’s confirmed when a team announces.

Usually it’s confirmed when a team announces.

Gotcha, thanks!

 

[LFCTML]

I wasn't stoked about the Mrazek signing, but I'm a lot happier now.

 

[TLEH]

As a neutral it’s obviously a lot but they’re competing now and everything else is water under the bridge, they needed a good player.

 

[Chiarelli]

Kuemper is better than Grub ppl chill

 

[LFCTML]

Can't wait to watch Arizona vs. Buffalo this year.

6-on-6 for 60 minutes. Gonna be 132-118.

Any points predictions for the two teams over a full season with their current rosters?

 

[Avsavsavsavsavs]

Yikes Joe.

 

[thaman8765678]

Grubauer is better though and they wouldn't have had to make a trade...

 

[Chiarelli]

Any protection on the 1st? My only regret is not dumping Compher in this deal

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Kuemper is better than Grub ppl chill

It’s the health that’s an issue. If Kuemper is healthy for the playoffs next year Sakic just made Colorado better. It’s a big “if” though.

 

[McJedi]

Kuemper is better than Grub ppl chill

Good goals saved above average and 92% save % over the past three seasons.

Nice player When healthy. Grubs also struggles with injuries let’s not forget that.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Man I really wanted him but if this was the price without us having to also dump Koskinen I’m glad we didn’t as the price would have been enormous

 

[Chiarelli]

wait, what the hell were the Oilers offering? Because I assume they would be dumping Koskinen too. That would be a crazy package considering what he went for in the end

An oilers first next year is more valuable than what we gave up

 

[EXTRAS]

I feel like Arizona has completely undercut Seattle's plans this off season.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

That retention better come in handy

 

[Chiarelli]

One year of peak Darcy Kuemper would be easily worth more than a late 1st and Timmins. If we re-sign him it's an easy win.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Anyone know the condition on the 3rd round pick?
