Watch us somehow flip this 5th for an NHL defenseman
This is such a random trade, but since we have the goalie depth it doesn't bother me.
All the same though, I always respect goalies who can handle the puck well. When Wedge was drafted I had visions of him succeeding Marty and giving the NHL fits for another decade over a Devils goalie who could roam outside the crease and spring the breakout.
Did we re-sign Conte?More draft picks for Shero and Conte is always a good thing.
He almost had back to back shutouts. He lost his second shutout in OT, because our offense was a disgrace.Why didn't he really got another look up here? I know his first game was a shutout and didn't he have back to back? And the third game he kept us in it against the caps? After that I don't remember him starting again why
I was pretty high on him, up until he turned pro and had a couple pretty poor seasons in the AHL. He looked good in his 4 game NHL stint, but Scott Clemmensen had an identical 4 games in the 03-04 season, where he put together a couple shutouts and had a save percentage of damn near 96% that year. Only, his appearances were sporadic and not consecutively in the same week, like Wedgewood's.This is such a random trade, but since we have the goalie depth it doesn't bother me.

I knew Bratt was going to make people overvalue late round draft picks even more than they already previously overvalued late round draft picks, which is quite a task.
Right. From now on, I bet many GMs out there with 5th-6th rounders would be more diligent with their picks, looking for that next Jesper Bratt Diamond-in-the-rough.
It's not like Bratt's been the only late round pick to ever make a splash. One of the few that has done it at 19 for sure. But for every Bratt or Datsyuk or (cough) Lundqvist there's a thousand AHL filler/marginal NHL player/washout picks from the late rounds.
GM's will only be more dilligent trying not to let those kind of talents slip into the 6th round to start with.
I think Wedge is going to be their starter, at least for the moment.Arizona just waived their goalie from last night. I think wedge be their backup

Yeah until Raanta gets back, I think Wedge will try and get win 1

I'm pretty sure Wedgewood has several more days when they can demote him without going through waivers. If Domingue passes, they can decide between the two when Raanta is healthy.
I believe they are done with Domingue. Read a lot of comments that he will be on the outside looking in when Raanta comes back.
Makeses sense as he has been as bad as it gets.
Perused through social media comments by Devils fans just before.
Consensus is that this was a heinous trade by Ray.
Wedge will become the next Hasek in Zona.
How sweet would that be on Monday night in Philly (a regulation win for Wedge).
