Confirmed Trade: [DET/CAR] Alex Nedeljkovic for Jonathan Bernier and 2021 3rd (VGK)

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

This is probably gonna be one of the most lopsided trades this decade.

Entirely dependent on whether they sign Bernier or not. He was really good for a horrible team.

 

[Canes]

Sometimes I hate this team.

 

[varano]

Leafs should’ve been on this

The leafs have 3.5 million in cap space for Ned?

 

[Dancing Plague]

I wonder if Ned refused to kit out his mask like a nascar jacket and got the boot.

 

[Spybot]

If somebody posted this as a trade proposal, they'd get abused.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

I like that Carolina is not willing to overpay guys, I really do, but 3.5M for Neddy doesn’t seem egregious to me

 

[Flukeshot]

What the scheisse

 

[Subway Schenn]

Guaranteed Yzerman gets him for 2.5M or less...

 

[Mickey Marner]

This is an absolutely brutal trade for the Canes.

 

[Vipers31]

Huge surprise, boxscore scouts around the league shocked to find out GMs don’t evaluate goalies quite the same way.

 

[Muston Atthews]

The leafs have 3.5 million in cap space for Ned?

yes.

Any team should have the cap space for 4 million for a starter let alone a starter + back up

 

[banks]

Clear win for Detroit. Wow.

 

[Doctyl]

How much cheaper than 3.5 will Bernier be?

 

[Pure West]

Seems crazy on the surface, but this is Carolina sticking to what they believe for better or for worse. They believe goaltending is not worth paying for and they weren't willing to pay his arbitration award just for the sake of not losing him.

Curious if this would have been a better pickup for the Kraken than Driedger?

 

[Vukotal Recall]

DUN DON DON

 

[FlyguyOX]

Cheap owner gonna be cheap. Weird move by Canes, although Bernier is very underrated and is a quality 1B

 

[Cor]

AHAHAHAHA

I mean the league is notoriously horrible at evaluating goalies.

The Toronto zamboni driver refused to waive his no trade (for family reasons of course) to the Canes, blocking the deal.

[Vipers31]

That is fair, tbh.

 

[Estlin]

Damn, Yzerman really means business! This is a steal, this is their #11 goalie for the next decade.

In which case, Yzerman in fact got taken to the cleaners by Carolina.

 

[WaW]

How much cheaper than 3.5 will Bernier be?

500 - 750k max lol. It's such a ridiculous trade.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

This is an absolutely absurd deal

Yzerman robbed the Canes ,, Bernier is a good backup and nothing else

Sometimes I hate this team.

They’re truly the Patriots of the NHL. If you don’t slot in at exactly the price tag that they’re looking for, they’ll happily trade you a year too early instead of a year too late.
