Hell, if negotiations fall apart with Vancouver and we can snag Markstrom's rights for a 3rd or so - as much as I want Kuemper, that's a huge win - but there are some reports out there that Vancouver does look like they'll get a contract with Markstrom done.
Hard to argue for a Kuemper trade without knowing what happens with Markstrom though.

Markstrom wanting expansion draft assurances is where Calgary becomes really appealing (in comparison to Vancouver).

Not if Markstrom wants term and Colorado sticks true to their managing of the cap in preparation for "tomorrow".
