When Minnesota Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher traded Matt Hackett at the NHL Trade Deadline last season, he was sending a signal to Darcy Kuemper that he would be the marquee goalie in the organization’s developmental system and featured between the pipes with the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League.
It’s fair to say things have changed since then.
Less than a year after Fletcher dealt Hackett to the Buffalo Sabres, Kuemper is Minnesota’s No. 1 goalie, facing the Brad Marchand Jerseys For Sale challenge of giving the team a chance to win every game he starts as they creep closer to a second straight trip to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Do you think the Philadelphia Flyers should go after a big-target defenseman in the offseason? I say no, grow within. — @KylePineda2
Assuming the Montreal Jonathan Toews Jerseys Cheap Canadiens re-sign Andrei Markov, I’m not sure there is a major defenseman that the Flyers could target. Going after Markov would be interesting, but I’d bet that he re-signs in Montreal. The Flyers should attempt to re-sign Andrew MacDonald, but he’s not a No. 1 or No. 2. He’s a solid second-pair blueliner.
