Only Chiarelli could produce 10M of healthy scratches lol 😅 wait who am I kidding half of current GMs could

Nice roster. I don't see Bouchard making it over Lagesson to start the season though - especially if it means starting Larsson out of position. I'm still hoping for an upgrade in net... surely AZ won't carry 3 goalies this season, will they?

Might even put Adin Hill on waivers.

Ya I suspect signing Barrie was the nail the coffin for bouch making the team out of camp perhaps after an injury or two gets the call and sticks.

We can only hope!

I guess Dell goes on waivers too? All is not set in stone in G necessarily...but Smith would need to be REALLY bad in preseason to convince Tip/Holland waive him down.

larsson isn't good on the right side. I don't want to imagine him on the left. Bouch should start in the A

Or injured... his groin ain't getting any younger!

I think Arizona would be open to moving Kuemper due to their cash crunch. He's owed $9M over the next 2 seasons and they can get about the same performance from Raanta ($2M this year) and Hill $800k). Not sure what it will take though, Armstrong seems to want to hold out for a decent return which hasn't happened so far.

Something to revisit mid-season perhaps. If Lagesson, Bouch or Broberg push onto the team past Russell/Larsson, could trade one of them plus a 1st for Kuemper perhaps. But it is all very unknown at this point. I wouldn't be worried unless Smith is really terrible for long periods of time. Until that happens, can wait to add a goalie near the deadline.
