Kuemper is basically a rental, since he has only 1 year left.
The Flames are not contenders. It makes no sense to pay for rentals.
1st round picks are especially out of the question.
I like Kuemper. I think he makes among the most sense out of the goaltending options.
But even if he re-signed, he's too old to be in the Flames' long term plans.
Rather than trading a first, I would rather offer Jakob Pelletier for Kuemper ++.
