This makes me want to vomit.
I would much rather give a 1st round pick for Kuemper, and I don't want to do that at all.
If you're going to throw away the future by having a very old, overpaid goalie for many years, you might as well throw away draft picks as well.
Markstrom has only had one pretty good season in his career.
With three years of a flat cap, a contract like this could be, and very likely would be, beyond disastrous. He would be 34 years old in the middle of the contract.
