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

[dogbazinho]

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

No this was an awful trade.

 

[serp]

What ?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Nedel

He looked great but he has the same issue Campbell does the sample size isn't there

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

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?

Are they poor?

I thought Dundon was filthy rich.

 

[SKNJD9]

lol what the f*** Carolina?

Tom dun dun dundon

 

[Treb]

Lol

So this means there is likely no chance Yzerman takes Wallstedt in the draft.

Ned isn't a guaranteed #1 yet. Why would Detroit not take Wallstedt, if he's BPA? Makes no sense.

 

[vildurson]

So...

no Jesper Wallstedt for Detroit then? This changes the way i was predicting draft a lot.

Ned isn't a guaranteed #1 yet. Why would Detroit not take Wallstedt, if he's BPA? Makes no sense.

They might go now and bet that Cossa is available for their later first round pick. But i don't see such a pressing need for them to go for a goalie now. Wally probably goes to Sharks or Kings now.

Absolute steal of a trade for Y. I quess Dundon ran out of money after rehiring Rod and his group?

 

[bleedgreen]

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

2 years at 3mill?

I would’ve had no problems paying that and I was never a huge fan. For a third? Wooooooooof.

 

[A1LeafNation]

He looked great but he has the same issue Campbell does the sample size isn't there

We don't have any goalies 25 or under good like him.

 

[SKNJD9]

Are they poor?

I thought Dundon was filthy rich.

He is but he's very cheap. He's also on the record saying he wants nhl jerseys to look like euro jerseys with ads. Also said he'll never allow his gm to use a 1st rd pick on a dman

 

[grewalwings]

Not a bad pickup for either team, Bernier will do great in Carolina.

 

[42]

Interesting that Carolina did not want to give Ned $3M for 2 years. That's a reasonable ask. They may have seen something we are not privy to.

 

[MillarWithASave]

I hope Ned wins the Vezina next year.

 

[Unspecified]

Stevie Y just school'd Carolina!

 

[powerstuck]

Detroit working their way slowly but surely toward playoffs.

Seeing what a machine Tampa is, I can't wait to see the Wings back into competition after a few Yzerman years.

 

[Realgud]

Not a bad pickup for either team, Bernier will do great in Carolina.

If he signs, yes, I expect Bernier to be really good in Carolina, but he's gonna have more pressure than he had with Detroit.

 

[BB88]

So much for Vezina Ned

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Ned is overrated

 

[Puckclektr]

Carolina putting together a good young team and getting a good goalie for that price is amazing.

 

[42]

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

They need 10 other goalies?

Yeah, I'm not sold on Ned being a #1 yet. let's see how he does behind Detroit's defence instead of Carolina's first.

 

[Elysian]

This trade is the dumbest thing I've read today.

 

[42]

That’s definitely up there with one of the worst trades in history

Not even close.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Martin Jones was just bought out, maybe the Hurricanes will sign him.

 

[Chrispy]

Carolina paid $3M a year the past 2 years for James Reimer, but won't go to $3M for Ned.

Baffling. Even if they decide to upgrade the tandem from Mrazek/Ned, how much are they saving by going from Ned to Bernier? $1-2M?
