It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, to trade Darcy Kuemper

The story of Darcy Kuemper is laden with drama. He’s been through a lot with the Minnesota Wild, and when you start to think about it, it’s no wonder he gets trapped inside his own head at times. Kuemper was touted as the next number 1, but those expectations have never been realized. Is this more a product of his performance? Or could the organization be partly to blame for his fall from grace?

To figure it out, we have to go back to the beginning.

Darcy Kuemper was born on May 5th, 1990 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada.
