At 5v5 Kuemper over the last three seasons is pretty much equal to Rittich. So why spend a first on a guy who actually might not be better.
I worry that his PK performance might be luck / system driven.

What's the alternative? Murray's asking price is also a 1st, and even if it's two 2nds instead I take Kuemper all day long. So who else is out there? Markstrom and Lehner both look to be staying put.
2019/2020:
Rittich:
LDSV%: .971
MDSV%: .890
HDSV%: .836
GSAA: -3.80
SV%: .916
Kuemper:
LDSV%: .985
MDSV%: .913
HDSV%: .841
GSAA: +2.27
SV%: .932
Kuemper is significantly better goalie than Rittich is.
I'd be more comfortable with Kuemper + Talbot than I would be Kuemper + Rittich at the end of the day as well.
