Darcy Kuemper’s Kings Review Has the Usual Goalie Squeeze

Darcy Kuemper’s season review gives the Kings a chance to put a veteran goalie under the microscope, and that is never a cozy conversation in this league. Los Angeles always knows that goaltending can look stable one week and brutally fragile the next, which is why these reviews matter more than the polite language usually suggests. The Kings have plenty to sort through as they weigh what Kuemper meant to the room and what comes next in a market that never gives goalies much mercy.
