Kuemper trade requires just SDA, Kivi, and a 1st. Keep the 2nd. You said yourself, 1st rd and prsopects. SDA is a rly good prospect, Kivi is a decent one, and the 1st. That's it.
Ekblad trade is WAYYY overpaid. Why would you trade for Ekblad and sacrifice a 30+ goal scorer on a good contract AND a 15th overall pick and a servicable 2nd/3rd pairing D-man? Nylander and Dermott for Ekblad and a 4th. Or just sign Pietrangelo, and give up Johnson and Kerfoot instead for draft picks. You get assets and a great defender, without sacrificing a core player and a 1st and Derms?
