Puck drop in the Windy City, Jim Cornelison singing the Star Spangled Banner, as good as it gets anthem wise, game on.

That Arizona trade seems odd, what do they need Kuemper for? Seems like a shit return at first glance to me, for an upgrade at backup goalie. Weird.

Chayka wandering the wilderness searching for a starter, Raanta didn't come through, Kuemper's been hot in LA, challenging Johnny Quick for starts, guess they're bringing him in to compete with Raanta, Kuemper wasn't gonna re-sign to be Quick's back up, LA just dumping him for whatever they can get, Wiedgewood younger cheaper backup, just taking a flyer on Rieder.

Not buying Kuemper is a starter, especially on a dumpster fire team, upgrading at backup goalie while trading away younger guys, that is just weird, that's not building for the future, that's the opposite.

Like I say, Chayka wandering the wilderness, I'd say Raanta is their preferred goalie of the future, but they're bringing Kuemper in to be a 1B in order to light a fire under him, internal competition.

So how long until Chayka gets fired? He's got to be running out of goodwill down in the desert, and if not, no wonder the Coyotes always blow.

Is anybody even paying any attention in the desert? Other than when Auston Matthews is in town that is.
