How could it not be about Khudobin? Then why not trade wiz for a worse but adequate backup and also get a pick or two back for Wiz. Why use Wiz in a deal for a goalie at all? It's hard for me to take BM at his word in this scenario, or actually on any of his post-trade explanations so far this offseason. He's gaining leverage in trade talks and with his soon to be RFA's in negotiations (doing things that show he doesn't have much money to spend).
There are a lot of goalies set to be free agents, and most of them are backups. It's even highly debatable if Khudobin's better than a few of them, and considering how Andersen ended his season, this might be an attractive place for those types to go to.
Wiz just came off being healthy scratched for 16 playoff games, so his value was pretty low. If you rush a trade, and want minimal salary back, it obviously gets even lower. That's why the value's not very good.
It's just tough to imagine that he'd pursue a backup goalie via trade right now and then trade a guy of Wiz's calibre to get him. Who knows, maybe he truly thinks high of Khudobin and thought he was worth giving up Wiz, but I don't think so.
