NJD decline, add a 4th and I think they might accept. After Raanta's injury, I don't think Arizona is trading Kuemper, or even if Raanta isn't injured. I think if you are getting a goalie from ARZ, it's Raanta.

Imagine having the longest playoff drought, paying $9x7 to a fourth liner, and having your stud #1 defenseman heading towards a healthy scratch.

It does. That said, Skinner has been noticeably a better player, even from the fourth line. The goals will come. They've outplayed the opponent 4/5 games, the goals just haven't come
