if any team should be advocate for Kuemper its your the sabres. Unless they are swapping Grubi for him straight up it makes 0 sense bc why would you block a guy from playing when they have to make a decision if they are signing him to an extension or not.
You dont do this move if you are planning on keeping Grubi or considering it. Its a mess of an idea and why teams never do that move in season especially cup teams.
You should know, last time that happened was Miller to the Blues and they made him the starter and that blew up in their face
1- I’d love Kuemper, but this isn’t a Kuemper to Buffalo post
2- the reason u keep Grubauer too, is just in case it doesn’t work
3- Vegas just essentially did this last year by trading for Lehner while still having Fleury
Goaltending is pretty damn important
If u get a chance to go from an average-ish goalie like Grubauer, to a legit top10 goalie like Kuemper.....
then u guys should absolutely do that imo
Kuemper is really, really good
And would be even better with a good team in front of him instead of a crap one
