Kuemper's been great for sure but after that they have a couple question marks in goal. Harding's also been great but has his ongoing health issues. Backstrom also has injury problems, albeit lesser than Harding, but has also been pretty bad in goal this season when healthy. Also is 36.
IMO they needed some kind of a stop gap. Perhaps Bryz isn't all that bad considering they aren't shooting for the SC as you said and they'll have a better idea of where Harding's at in the off-season.
