I have a spare 17th rounder and 19th rounder available for trade (if I'm doing my math correctly).

I'm assuming a few things here; correct me if I'm wrong (and I don't really care one way or another). The Supplemental picks continue in a snake draft after the end of round 19. I believe we discussed that all supplemental picks count as 19th round picks (for keeper purposes), while UFAs count as 20th round picks.

So... uhhh... what IS the goalie situation like in Minnesota? Don't they have like 9 goalies competing?
They're praying Harding doesn't have an ALS relapse. Keumper is at best a stop-gap measure. They should have gone out and signed a decent free agent. Similar to the Twins never paying for a #1 starting pitcher, the Wild won't pay for a true #1 goaltender.

Kuemper will be on the Wild's roster after training camp. With Backstrom always being half dead and Kuemper's performance at the end of the season last year, the Wild can't afford to let him go. It's just a matter of getting the contract right.
Technically none of the goalies are competing at the moment since training camp hasn't even started, but whatever.
