Darcy Kuemper
Another player the Los Angeles Kings traded for this offseason was goalie Darcy Kuemper. He is in a similar position to Jeannot in that he wants to put the past few seasons behind him and show he is better than what he has shown recently.
The last two years Kuemper played for the Washington Capitals and started 86 games but had his lowest save percentage (.902) and highest goals against average (3.03) of any of the five NHL teams he has played for over his career.
A positive to point towards is that his best totals of his career in those categories were in 2017-18 when he was with the Los Angeles Kings. He would go 10-1-3 with a save percentage of .932 and goals against average of 2.10 before the Kings traded him near the trade deadline that season.
Aside from the left wing position, the goaltender position might be another top concern for the Kings this season. However, if Kuemper can bounce back with David Rittich sharing the responsibilities they could give the Kings enough to be successful this season.
