Canes have plenty of cap space without needing to deal a player .
Right, but they also have not really ever shown confidence in Nedeljkovic. They’ve only given him starts in past seasons as well as this one out of necessity. They were willing to risk losing him for nothing prior to the season.
If Mrazek comes back and looks good, I wonder if the Canes think now is the time to sell high on Nedeljkovic. I don’t necessarily agree with that line of thinking, but we’ll see.
If a goalie is dealt, I think they’d deal Reimer. I don’t see the utility there, in dealing him for a 3rd/4th or whatever, but that makes the most sense to me. I’d prefer they keep all 3, they have the assets to upgrade up front and on the backend without having to deal a goalie.
