Eklund: Wild Sign Darcy Kuemper

For my money, Minnesota's 3rd jersey is the best jersey in the league.

been saying it forever. it's about time. Backstrom is always hurt, Harding struggles with the MS, Bryz is a headcase. Kuemper did find last year. He's young, still growing, but a much more reliable option to move forward with.

Definitely Buffalos 3rds

Kuemper stalled negotiations were a lot to do with Role and Opportunity. Having Harding and Backstrom under contract on one way deals meant he was beginning his season in Des Moines. Harding's absence and SUSPENSION for NON-Hockey Related Injury is a HUGE opportunity for Kuemper. Crazy how things come together. I venture to guess Kuemper get lions share of ti e in net with Backstrom as mentor and relief guy.

I think DK will turn out to be a very good goalie in the league.

You can get suspended for hurting yourself? I ve never heard of a team doing this?

Not sure what to think about this. Kemp might go either way this season. The way I look at it, the Wild have 3 goalies now that are a HUGE question mark. I think Wild fans are in for another dark season. Dark, meaning not sure whats in the road ahead. Could be exciting, could be frustrating, who knows. Just fire the gun and let the race begin.

Depends on how he hurt himself. I believe players have risky type of behaviour clause in their contract. If he fractured his foot skydiving,then yes I think he could be suspended.

Minnesota needs to make room for this kid.

Oh poop yeah. Why should the team be penalized for your idiocy?

That makes sense but if he hurt himself working out then that's a Richard move.

Harding hurt himself, according to Startribune's Russo, in a altercation or incident with another teammate. I guess we will find out down the stretch whether they got into a fight with one other, were just screwing around, or simply being careless.

Hey, no matter how frustrating it was to watch Heatley play this season way below his potential, I know in the end the frustration was because we were paying him 7.5 million . I would love to have resigned him for a one year one million dollar deal like he got! He is worth that for his mentoring alone in my opinion

I don't think you want him mentoring anybody

Fixed

On the eve before camps begins Kuemps signs. Let him get a majority of the starts and let's see what this kid can do.

Great for Kuemper, terrible for Harding. Was excited to see Harding back healthy. One of the better goalies in the league. Wasn't he leading the league in almost every category before he had to step away.

Kuemper finally and deservedly gets his 1 way deal and its for 1 more year and more money than he was initially looking for. Good for him.

best jersey in the league though has to go to either the hawks or canadiens. plain, simple, rarely altered. something with the original 6, ny has had some bad jerseys so has boston. Chicago, montreal, Toronto, for the most part have always stayed true

Canadians jerseys are ugly imo, but I do agree that NY has had some stinkers too. We all remember the statue of liberty jersey . But their new 3rd's are great with the dark blue, Hawks black 3rd jerseys were pretty sweet
