Was Darcy Kuemper the relief goalie for Minnesota that stonewalled the Avs in round 1 in....2014? Kinda funny he ended up winning a cup almost a decade later with the team he beat in his first big playoff series

Yep. He played after Bryzgalov was terrible. Josh Harding (this was the year he tried to play with the MS diagnosis) and Niklas Backstrom were both injured but had played most of the season. Niederreiter scored the game 7 winner.

The goalie market kinda sucks. Toronto seemed like a good destination for Kuemper since he just won the cup, not sure why they would be going for Matt Murray instead (unless they are going for both of them?)

Edit: gonna die laughing if Kuemper somehow ends up in Buffalo. It’d probably be a good long-term move for the Sabres but maybe not for Kuemper unless he dreams of taking a young Finnish goalie under his wing.

It sounds a given that Campbell is going to Edmonton and Murray to Toronto. I genuinely don't know what Keumper's landing spot will be now. San Jose?

I can't remember his exact wording, but Friedman linked Kuemper to Washington on his podcast earlier today

I’m ok with this, let him and Samsonov fight it out. It won’t be any different than when Sammy and Vanecek fought it out over the past two years, but at least it’s somebody new.

Ya Kuemper has been linked to Washington as essentially a done deal ever since Colorado traded for Georgiev.

[A litany of Kane's crimes]
I followed Kane's wrongdoings pretty closely, and I was going to do a writeup addressing them all, but it started to get too lengthy. Let's just say I was fine with him joining the Sharks and fine with him leaving (despite being the team's top scorer).

San Jose has three goalies under contract, Adin Hill, James Reimer, and Kappo Kakhonen (RFA), they've already got an extra goalie they need to unload.

That's a little surprising in that I thought DW Jr. was doing a good job, had a good reputation, I didn't see him on the chopping block, etc. But Grier is cleaning house, pretty much everyone except the goalie coach Nabakov is gone.

And yeah not surprising they're bringing Kapanen back as discussed yesterday, they love him.

Interesting PIT qualified Kappy but not Heinen, I'd kinda think as a former ~20 goal scorer~ and with 30pts in 40 games last year Kapanen should have the stronger arbitration case of the two if they're scared of cap hit. But then again maybe Pittsburgh just doesn't want Heinen at all, even though he and Kappy scored about the same last year.

Heinen is a dramatically better player than Kapanen but people do irrational things sometimes.

I have no idea how the Rangers could sign Malkin without offloading someone else but it does seem likely they'll either buy out Nemeth or pawn him off on another team

but realistically that means they could offer like...a 2 year deal

Eric the Mauve
May 8, 2012

Marketing value might make Malkin worth the 5 year/$35 million contract he's going to get but he's not worth it on the ice anymore. He scores nearly a point per game and also allows nearly a point per game by not playing any defense at all. Still so good and dangerous with the puck but if he plays for your team you're probably going to end up hating him.

All that said I really wanted him to be a Penguin forever and am sad that he and Sully couldn't get along. :sigh:

I feel like he's gone if he goes to free agency. The Pens aren't going to wait around. Free agency day moves too quickly to afford to wait.
