After OEL put the brakes on being able to trade him, I think Arizona has no choice but to trade 1 of their goalies. I read the mandate from ownership was to have a payroll around $69 million. They got some work to do to get to that. The initial ask for Kuemper was quite high. I have no doubt that they will soften their stance on that asking price . I think you’ll see Hill as the backup by the time the season starts.
