Vejmelka to Carolina in place of Raanta wouldn’t be a bad option and there is some smoke to that rumor.That doesn't mean he is gone yet of course, but it does allow us to immediately bury him in the minors somewhere if we need cap space and cannot trade him.
That said, I'm having a hard time envisioning the Canes sending Rantaa to the AHL.
Depends on what we give up for him.Vejmelka to Carolina in place of Raanta wouldn’t be a bad option and there is some smoke to that rumor.
Tongue in cheekDepends on what we give up for him.
Everything about Vejmelka is relative. If you believe that he'd do better playing behind a system that limits chances, and most people do, then you're probably high on him. If you just look at conventional stats and judge his play, then you're probably down on him. Not saying either approach is correct and there's not a lot of good expanded data on goalies.This is not a bad assessment of the options available in net, even if I think the author is more negative on Vejmelka than I am...
Well, they need 3 regardless of Andersen. Currently you've got Kochetkov, Raanta and Perets with Dell on a PTO. And Raanta is only for practice fodder. Perets is only NHL ready in fever dreams, so basically you've got 1 goalie. Andersen's situation ABSOLUTELY would impact the next move. If there's no chance he's back then they HAVE to get a 1A/1B guy pretty much regardless of trade cost. If there's a good chance he's back fairly soon, then yeah ... maybe some schlub like Dell can be the third wheel. But you can't go with just 2 NHL level goalies if one of them is Andersen. He could trip over a paper clip at any time and miss 2 monthsI dunno. Anderson’s clearance wouldn’t be related to our need I wouldn’t think. We need him back ASAP and that’s been the case since he went out. Dell gives you another body even if just for practices.
Are you suggesting that trading Aho for Ullmark is an option? Because, THAT'S a debate that could burn down the internet.Boston is desperate to trade for a Centerman and would give up last year's Vezina winner Linus Ullmark for someone's #1 Center.
That would have been much more up Carolina's alley. And doesn't do Boston much good if they have to get a center out of the deal.We had someone we've had on the pod some that usually is pretty good on matters tell me the Canes previously offered Necas but that didn't go anywhere.
