DARCY KUEMPER - Goalie - 29 - $1.85MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 7/23/19
Kuemper, a longtime backup, was the biggest reason why Arizona was capable of staying in the playoff hunt deep into the spring. In 55 starts for the Coyotes, Kuemper posted a .925 sv% and a 2.33 GAA, both elite numbers. He had a GSAA of 25.06, also elite, and at 29 years old he's still very much in his goaltending prime. Given his size, quickness, and overall instincts, Kuemper definitely has the potential to sustain his strong play, and given the inability of Antti Raanta to stay healthy, Kuemper should count on getting a heavy workload again in Arizona. Goalies are impossible to project, as Kuemper could just as easily drop out of the NHL as he could establish himself as a starter, but given his valuable traits and impressive production, Kuemper is a goalie to bet on, not against.
