Confirmed Trade: [DAL/ARI] Scott Wedgewood for 2023 conditional 4th round pick

[BeaverSports]

Wedgewood has decent numbers on a bad team and his cap hit is probably favourable to other options Dallas had on the table. If they put Holtby on LTIR, this may leave them some cap to upgrade.

This also allows Adam Scheel to go back to Texas in the AHL and that may help the Stars to a playoff run and more prospect development.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Dallas just really hell bent on not allowing Scheel to start a single game, eh?

Otter has started 8 of the last 9, including bith games this weekend.

With Dobby and Holtby (WHY did Nill sign him again) both out of the picture, I guess they were in need of reinforcements.

Just glad they didn't take a flier on Mrazek and that brutal contract.

Is his nickname Wedgie?

It's just Wedge.

I mean Holtby got signed because Khudobin was bad , Bishop injured and Oettinger not a sure thing. Oettinger turned out fine but the other 2 did not.

Or Mrazek to mentor fellow Czech Vejmelka

 

[Schemp]

GMBA has traded 3 goalies and let 1 go to free agency in less than a year. Problems with the tank!

 

[Arthuros]

Why has Weekes not been in a single normal place so far.

Arizona ain't taking on Mrazek for free

I feel like most of us had Otter pegged as the starter going into the season, until Nill signed Holtby and nobody knew why. Then Otter gets demoted, Bishop never recovers and Dobby turns in one of the worst stats of any starter in the league.

Enter Oettinger, again, to come in and save the day, which is what we hoped he'd do in the first place.

Yeah Toronto is likely paying out the ass to get them to take him.

 

[mouser]

For those interested, as Wedgewood was acquired by Arizona through waivers, he could not be traded this season without first being offered at waiver prices to all other teams who put in a claim, therefore we can say either Arizona first offered Wedgewood to all other claiming teams for $7,500 and they declined, OR no other teams put in a claim when Arizona did.

I think it’s safe to assume no other team put in a claim.

 

[CamPopplestone]

I've seen him in a few of the ramdom coyotes games I've watched, and he's looked alright.

I thought Holtby was good early on, definitely a clear improvement over the Khudobin we’ve seen the past couple years. I liked that signing, I just wish he moved Khudobin in the summer.

 

[SR]

Is his nickname Wedgie?

It is and he’s been outstanding. Don’t let the numbers fool you. So long wedgie!

 

[abo9]

I have not followed Dallas goalie situation, but they can't get enough goalies it looks like!

Holtby, Bishop, Khudobin, Oettinger

now Wedgewood???

Been a revolving door all season.

Right now only Oettinger is healthy, hence this deal.

 

[Prestigeworldwide]

Mrazac is still owed 4.2 Mill next season and then 4.4 million the following. That's a hefty cap dump.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Maybe offering the third-rounders they got from Vancouver?

New Jersey could have used him to finish the season.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

New Jersey could have used him to finish the season.

Well, he's not the best starter for the team, in my opinion.

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

He's been better than Gillies has been.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

He's been better than Gillies has been.

That I agree with. He's a good backup, but I just don't know if he can be a good starter.

Would AZ also have to offer Wedgewood to NJ as they obviously weren't able to put in a claim?
