Dan Wallace: Wild Take it to the Road Beginning in LA

Too bad Kuemper isn't starting... Would love to see the Wild light him up. Folin wasn't a bad bottom paring guy and in all honesty the Wild no longer needed him. Well at least until we found out how much Scandella really meant to this roster... Prosser is a nice little iron on patch for the hole in this D corps, but like an iron on patch, not a permanent fix as the patch will eventually wear through exposing the hole again...

Why do you want to see Kuemper lit up? He's an upstanding individual and teammate.

Kuemper is fine as a back up... I don't think he's got the chops to ever be a bona fide number 1...

Kuemper was supposed to be the heir apparent to Backstrom at one point, he put up some decent numbers as back up here, then when Chuck really had no other options when Harding got sick, Kuemper and his agent held out for a bigger one way deal. Then after he got his deal he failed miserably when he had his opportunities to shine here as a 1a/1b tandem.
So no, I really don't want to see him go succeed in another market at this point.

Enjoy his good numbers presently, he will at some point fall apart because of his fragile psyche.
