Pretty awful return for a Calder finalist.

I don’t get this trade from Carolina’s view. I must be missing something.

They were not getting close in contract negotiations. Friedman spoke about it last week I think. He also had arbitration rights.

Seems weird to draft someone so high, invest in developing them for so long then sell low on them when they start playing well

The rumors were that Carolina wasn't going to qualify Nedeljkovic because they were afraid of the arbitration award

That doesn't even seem like a crazy ask from Nedeljkovic! Isn't that what Driedger just got?

Yeah, and I can't imagine either side wanted more than 3 years.

Head scratcher.

Now watch as they turn around and sign Bernier for $3.35M...

I also would have thought Detroit would be after Wallstedt at the draft, but with this...perhaps Wallstedt gets one step closer to falling to us?

That is a really good deal for Detroit Red Wings. Another win for Yzerman

The owner is a bit crazy in that he's not gonna pay a dime more than he thinks he should pay for your services.

Like they're gonna lose Dougie because of it too.

From Carolina's perspective, this is the worst trade I've seen in a long while.

Who would you rather have: Young Ned for $3.5 or old Smitty for $2M. A head scratcher.

Ok, but the ask wasn’t even very high. The return is terrible. It’s not like the trade makes a lot of sense for the Canes, the kid was great last year.
