Kuemper has had one bad year in the past seven. Yeah, he's 34, but I do imagine he's due for a rebound.

Is he an upgrade on what Talbot miraculously gave them last season? I'm not so sure.

I mean, all else equal, it opens up like $3MM of cap space and his deal expires in three years instead of seven.

Win for the Kings, imo

Kings trade PLD to Wash for Kuemper, which essentially makes it a trade for all the guys he (Blake) sent to the Jets. Thoughts on Blake as GM and what this trade does for the Kings, beyond the obvious of getting rid of the Albatross known as PLD. How does this help/hurt the Kings cap situation?

Yeah, I mean obviously the initial acquisition was a huge blunder. But this is a decent bit of work getting out of it, I have to say.

They've now got upwards of $23MM to spend. Yes, a lot of roster spots to fill, but that's way more flexibility than they've had in a while

Alright folks, that's the hour. What a wonderful day to have one of these things, haha. Thanks for all the great questions!
