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

[Pavels Dog]

3rd rounder is Vegas pick acquired by Detroit in the Tomas Tatar trade.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

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

From this day forward he shall not longer be known as Dundon. His name is Duncedon until the end of time.

I guess I am the only one who doesnt think Nedeljkovic is legit

Not the only one. I have doubts about him too.

 

[BruinsBtn]

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

Bernier is an UFA, no? The price for a UFA is zero.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

On the surface a pretty dumb trade for Carolina, but maybe Bernier can provide good goaltending behind that defense.

Surprising they wouldnt give Ned that contract.

Wow, nice pickup Wings - a lot of Canes fans must be pissed.

Stevie Y playing 4D chess..

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

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.

This is the story. They didn’t carve out a role for him coming in (Reimer was the backup). They waived him at the start of the season. They traded him in lieu of giving him a multi-year contract.

They don’t see it with him for whatever reason.

 

[hockeyarena]

det didnt buy any ufa years on Nedeljkovic so looks like they're giving him a trial run until they're ready to start being competitive.

[Hobnobs]

People asking if Waddell is drunk or incompetent must not remember that this was the GM that completely mismanaged the Thrashers. Id say this is one of his better trades. Gives canes a proven starter (if Bernier signs). With Greiss we weren't resigning Bernier anyways and we needed a younger goalie prospect so thanks Don!

 

[Dog]

Yzerman stealing the show while Francis dropped the ball and Carolina organization creates um wtf moment.

 

[Lempo]

Said it before, enter Beck Warm!

It's not happening, Beck. You gotta stop doing this.

 

[BlueDream]

Lmao.

“We got a good young goalie? Nah, we don’t want that. Trade him.”

 

[Breakers]

What was he planning on doing

using Demko from his same draft in his arbitration case

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

From this day forward he shall not longer be known as Dundon. His name is Duncedon until the end of time.

Dumbdon is better, phonetically speaking.

 

[Davenport]

Presumably, this deflates the value for goaltenders.

 

[42]

I hope Ned wins the Vezina next year.

In Detroit? About the same chance as Matt Martin winning Art Ross.

 

[TimeZone]

Oh man wtf Dubas? Ned is a great young goaltender and he just went for peanuts.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Carolina didn’t want to pay this guy 3 million per?

[The Price is Right]

Dridger got 3.5 mil so Alex definitely deserves jt

 

[SpezDispenser]

Pray your team doesn't have a GM that has shit for brains. The jury's out on ours, leaning towards SFB, but this move is absolutely unreal.

[CupsOverCash]

Lol sy just gave the stare over to Carolinas way..

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

I can't
