Per LeBrun they tried to sign him but couldn't get a deal done and they didn't want to go through arbitration.

EternalCanuckFan Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Does Yzerman have a blackbook on every GM in the league or something? The trade is still puzzling. Even if Carolina likes Mrazek (who's UFA) and sees their window as being the next 3-4 years, it's hard to understand why Nedeljkovic would not fit into those plans? How much is Mrazek asking for that they can't fit Nedeljkovic at $3M? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 He’s got starting goalie written all over him though. Young too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he's just really good at his job. Sample size is there. The rebuild strategy he's been using in Detroit looks brilliant; of course nothing has panned out yet but it's hard not to give him the benefit of the doubt. When you look at the moves he makes vs. some other GM's in the league, it's quite clear that he knows what he's doing - the moves look good at face value and make sense in the grand scheme of things and you don't have to do mental gymnastics to validate or explain anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 That's a pretty nice deal for both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Ned asks for 3.5 per and immediately signs in Det for 3.0aav after the trade. As I said in the other trade thread this seems like it was about something other than money arbitration notwithstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy gets placed on waivers, doesn't get claimed, then plays well enough to be a rookie of year finalist and then gets traded as a reward? Weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Bizarre trade. Even at $3.5 million that is a good price for a goalie of his caliber and a 3rd is nothing in return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Yzerman scores again. I watched Yzerman and Sakic their entire careers. Watched them be on very bad teams to multiple championship winners. Now they're both great GMs. What a great ride following these two over the decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
