What will the netminding situation look like with Darcy Kuemper going to the Kings?

"The recent trade between the Washington Capitals and the Los Angeles Kings has significantly impacted the goaltending departments of both teams. The Capitals acquired center Pierre-Luc Dubois in exchange for goalie Darcy Kuemper. Dubois, 25, brings a wealth of potential and skills to the Capitals and is set to become the team's third highest-paid player. On the other hand, the Kings' acquisition of Kuemper from the Capitals is expected to result in substantial salary cap savings for the Kings in the short term. These savings will provide the Kings with increased flexibility to address their roster needs through additional trades, free agent signings, and internal promotions. General Manager Rob Blake of the LA Kings has expressed his confidence in the character, fit within the organization, and playing style of Darcy Kuemper. The Kings' staff's familiarity with Kuemper is seen as an advantage that will expedite his integration and development within the team. Additionally, the trade allows the Kings to avoid buying out a contract, as previously indicated by GM Rob Blake. The Kings are hopeful that Kuemper's experience and track record will have a positive impact on their goaltending prospects for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, in Washington, Lindgren and Hunter Shepard have both showcased strong performances in the goaltending position. With Shepard finishing the season with remarkable statistics and achievements, it's clear that the goaltending situation in Washington is promising. The Capitals' depth chart in goal is further bolstered by Clay Stevenson, and the team is considering exploring the free agent market for an inexpensive NHL veteran to complement Lindgren. In summary, the recent trade and the performances of goalies such as Shepard and Lindgren have set the stage for an exciting season for both the Washington Capitals and the Los Angeles Kings."
