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

[Oscar Lindberg]

Carolina’s owner is cheap, what do you expect?

 

[Drumman44]

Oh good Carolina is still run by idiots

 

[13to40]

I guess the wings aren’t drafting a goalie with their #6 pick!!!

 

[Dr Pepper]

Going after Freddy maybe?

Damn you beat me to it.

At this point it wouldn't surprise me. Just.....wow. Trading away a Calder finalist for such an underwhelming return. Seems like a step backwards.

 

[Tetsuo]

This is highway robbery for a Calder finalist. I understand that they might have lost him for nothing if they didn't extend him a QO, but oh boy did they sell low.

 

[tarheelhockey]

This one hurts as a Canes fan. Clearly Ned was looking for something that they weren’t gonna give him.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

lol the Patriots of the NFL without a tenth of their success.

Nah we're more like the Indianapolis Colts

I’m only saying that this is how Carolina models themselves as an overall operation. They believe that the success will come later.

 

[NoelVilla]

Why would Nedeljkovic get more than a 3rd? It's strange that they trade him but the return is OK.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

They're going with Mrazek because of 12 good games? Was paying Ned $3.5 million really that bad? He showed a lot of promise last season. The return doesn't surprise but giving up on Ned kind of does.

If they manage to sign Bernier I bet he's the starter by the end of the season.

 

[DougieSmash]

This is... I can't even describe the feeling. Terrible move.

 

[Eggtimer]

My Devils and a bunch of other teams got caught napping on this. Congrats to Detroit .Qualifying $ must have been steep.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Leafs need this type of goalie.

No we do not need Bernier

 

[Dr Pepper]

As an aside, has anybody else noticed that the Hurricanes board is called "Carolina Panthers"?

Interesting, never noticed that before.

Seems like HF also dragging its feet on getting the division forums back in the right order........maybe organize them back to normal, soonish?

 

[varano]

Atleast canes fans aren't jumping in here trying to defend this garbage.

 

[A1LeafNation]

No we do not need Bernier

Nedel

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Maybe Carolina shoulda milked a few more dollars out of the Whalers merchandise so they could scrape together the money to keep their good young goalie lol

 

[SKNJD9]

Detroit just signed him 3m per for 2 yrs

 

[Spring in Fialta]

This one hurts as a Canes fan. Clearly Ned was looking for something that they weren’t gonna give him.

I mean...how outrageous could it have been? Not a Canes fan but would love to have some clarification on this...I thought that goalie looked great. 3.5 for 23 games isn't superb but it's for what, a year? Then you go from there.

 

[varano]

Why would Nedeljkovic get more than a 3rd? It's strange that they trade him but the return is OK.

He was asking for 3.5 million. Why would you trade a great young goalie who isn't asking for much

 

[LevelingSolo]

Yzerman again, Detroit will be a machine in 2 years

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Detroit just signed him 3m per for 2 yrs

lol what the f*** Carolina?

 

[izzy]

this is so so so bad

 

[dragonballgtz]

Thank you for coming home Mr. Yzerman

He spends to the cap.

This is about the team thinking that there’s a more efficient way to use that cap space than on a player that they waived just 6 months ago.
