If Ryan is involved in the deal it's not just saving $1 million though, it could be saving 1-2m on Markstrom and saving 2m by replacing Ryan with someone cheaper.
Not only that, what if Markstrom doesn't choose us? People seem to be ignoring that factor, it's not Kumper vs Markstrom, it's definitely getting Kuemper vs maybe getting Markstrom and if we don't trade for Kuemper and then miss out on Markstrom, then what? Call Talbot with our tails between our legs and hope he hasn't signed elsewhere? Not trading for Kuemper and missing out on Markstrom could potentially leave us with worse goaltending than we had this season.
