TSN: Wings acquire Alex Nedeljkovic for Bernier and a 3rd

Well there go those Wallstedt dreams, @Bench

It's second pic going away

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Had a feeling we would take a cheap swing on a young-ish goalie eventually, so I'm comfortable with this for sure.

One thing I will say- hats off to Jon Bernier for his time here. I was pretty skeptical at first but he really won me over and I wish him the best of luck wherever he goes. I'd love to see him get a good chance in Carolina.

Yes, Bernier was amazing for Detroit. It can't be overstated how good he was here. He never got a lick of support. Good luck finding a team that has a chance to win, Bernie. You deserve it.

 

[Hammettf2b]

I don't understand it, but I will definitely take it.

Don't let the memes die. It's still happening. But it'll be Cossa at 22.

 

[SirloinUB]

Love this!

 

[RedWingzz]

Yzerman strikes again...

I can't believe this.

I know he played behind one of the best D in the league, but .... 1.90 GAA, 0.932s%, 15-5-3 record...

Unreal Yzerman, unreal...

 

[YpsiWings]

Does Detroit finally have a long term answer in net? Definitely worth a 3rd rounder, great trade.

God I hope not.

 

[HisNoodliness]

Can someone fix the thread title? We're going to misspell his name enough as is. Can't have the first thread about him throwing us off already.

 

[ThankGord]

Can we fix the title? It's Nedeljkovic, no?

 

[DoMakc]

Well, I guess they are not drafting Wallstedt after all

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

 

[golffuul]

Yzerman...you mad lad. Love this deal.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

God I hope not.

I'm riding the Lil' Sebastian trade until it crashes.

(Fair warning, I only want Cossa because he's 6'6" and his first name is Sebastian. It is quite literally me memeing a pick. I have no idea the talent he actually has.)

 

[NickH8]

HOLY SHIT. YZERMAN JUST SOLVED OUR FUTURE GOALIE PROBLEM FOR A THIRD AND UFA RIGHTS?!?!

Nedeljkovic

[Killerjas]

25 year old, 1 full season playing in the NHL. Looks pretty decent. Any concerns about his size being just 6 feet or is that not a factor?

 

[ShanahanMan]

LOVEEEEE IT.

Why would Carolina do this though?

 

[ChadS]

2 years, 3M aav

 

[Konnan511]

Wow.... Alex Nedeljkovic is a stud. 25 year old with a 932 save percentage last year? I see you Stevie.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

Can we fix the title? It's Nedeljkovic, no?

the tradition must continue...Alan Needsahammer must carry the torch.

No really loving why Carolina traded him. They were apparently not even going to qualify him because of the potential arbitration award he could get. They are saying he is asking for 3.5 AAV already which I don't want to see a goalie with 23 games under his belt this season get. Not trying to rain on the parade as I like the initial move, but only if we get him at a reasonable amount for an unproven goalie.
