I like Kuemper, but giving up a 1st seems very steep given the talk of this draft's depth. I also don't like OEL much as a player, especially at his caphit.
Kuemper and OEL have a combined caphit of $12.75M
Giordano and Ryan have a combined caphit of $9.875M
I'd rather keep the 1st and Gio, negotiate with Hall once he reaches UFA status, and even sign Talbot for $3-$3.5M if possible.
