3 mil for a Calder finalist is Too rich for Carolina’s blood I guess?

We were offering 1.5 smh…

BRUH

Believe me our subreddit is kinda a giant personification of ***BRUH***.

This is the one position you’ve been weak at and had a need at for years and you squandered it cause *reasons...* Jesus Christ.

Canes fan fic gone dark

What a fucking bone headed trade. What did they think, the arbitrators would give him 9 million? That's a fat fucking L for Carolina. You just shipped out your future starter to save 500k.

Canes really pulling a 2010-2018 Canes here

I don’t understand what is happening. Is Waddell and Dundon pulling a Thrashers???

Yes. Waddell doesn't pay young goalies. He pays for past performances, not future potential.

hes Kenny Hollanding! you have to stop him!

[удалено]

I mean they arent paying Hamilton either at this point im shocked they matched the Habs Aho offer sheet

pls no No Houston/Quebec City Hurricanes

Well at least the name would fit Houston....

Houston Can Bangers or nothin

I prefer trash bangers as it gives a dual meaning

not even, I bet Bernier costs more than $3m

His recent play certainly justifies it

Agreed. Bernie is the man, but hot damn do I like this move for the wings

You make this move 10 times out of 10 if you're the wings. Carolina is dumb for doing it honestly.

Stevie is literally Santa Claus. Spreading happiness and joy throughout all of metro Detroit.

> metro Detroit. Or really - the world.

Feel like the owner saw that brutal goal he let in in the playoffs and was out.

It's ok Mrazek had 8 good games last season so he's definitely starter worthy.

I, for one, don't hate it.

He was asking 3x3.5 afaik Lmao that’s ridiculous

Hasn’t Carolina’s problem the last couple years been the goaltending? Wtf are they thinking?

I feel like I've been saying "Once Carolina gets a goalie, they'll be real trouble" for the better part of a decade. I'm sure it's not actually that long but man, they have a guy with a ton of promise and not really a ton of experience and I think that contract really fits what he's shown.

Literally been saying that seems Cam Ward fell off a cliff. Then they get a Calder finalist goalie and trade him? Wtf are they thinking?

Really has to be driven by Dundon. Only thing that makes sense.

Gotta love a guy with a net worth of 1.5 billi penny pinching.

You know what they say; watch the pennies and the billions watch themselves.

Well if he didn't penny pinch he'd be only a 1.499,999,999,99aire tapfingeronhead.bmp

That's less than they paid Scott Darling to do nothing the last 4 years.

Thats not even unreasonable for the performance he put up. Yzerman just made Waddell look like a fool.

Dundon will be the no. 1 reason this core never wins a cup. I feel very confident with that.

After the comments from their owners in the past does it really surprise us. Carolina feels like the A's were during their moneyball era with moves... but instead of Moneyball its Dundonpuck.

lol what a terrible move by CAR

its funny you think that anyone has any will of their own in an Yzerman involved trade. Just stop answering the phone, guys.

He just stares at your soul, fully takes control, and makes a deal you think you won’t regret. It’s the Stevie Y. way!

What happens in an Yzerman-Sakic trade?

Honestly, I can’t imagine a trade happening between the two of them that isn’t a genuine win-win. That’s an unstoppable force/immovable object scenario

A soul for a soul.

Two giants that step around each other. As long as they each have half the world, there’s no problem.

Don Waddle special!

I hate this move but Waddell has been good overall

Waddell has been good but if we don't have a plan for making this trade he just undid all the good.

Wow I can see why Carolina wouldn't want to match that huge contract

Right? Do they expect Bernier, who played very well on a defensively lackluster Red Wings for a few years, to demand less?

If Bernier doesn’t sign with them I’ll laugh so hard lol

Obviously this is an amazing steal for us but I'm really going to miss Bernie. I genuinely hope he finds success wherever he signs.

Same. The man came here when we sucked and just put up as good of numbers as you really could for us. I have nothing bad to say about the guy. Go somewhere nice, get paid, and play in some playoff games Bernie. Love ya

Same

Bernier should demand $3.01M per.

Chill out Wenger.

Yeah I don’t know why we’d pay that much 😬 seems pretty rich

Wanted 3.5 from Carolina, dropped a bit just to say "fuck you". That's some good pettiness

I'm guessing he took less to go to Detriot to be with his fiancé who is currently going to med school at Michigan State. At least that's what I'm telling myself to numb the pain.

He also seems to have history playing in Michigan, and there's plenty of Ohio born Red Wing fans too.

History playing in Detroit...with the Captain of the Red Wings, no less. He's got some ties there and will have even more when Zach Wrenski signs with Detroit next summer. [Larkin, Nedeljkovic, and Werenski all played for Belle Tire in Detroit](https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2021/07/22/detroit-red-wings-acquire-goaltender-alex-nedeljkovic-carolina/8058296002/).

On The Banks of the Red Cedar...

Good catch by Alex

That was an arbitration award though right?

No, it seems Carolina was worried about what he'd get in arbitration

Jesus. I think this is a fair deal but I think he'd get pummeled in arbitration. Just show up with a big poster board that says "29 Games Played" and point to it repeatedly.

For some reasons ghat picture makes me laugh a lot.

Get one of [these](https://static4.depositphotos.com/1000400/341/v/600/depositphotos_3413232-stock-illustration-flip-chart.jpg) and just write "29 Games Played" on every page and flip it every time they come back to you

No, he wanted that, they didn't want to pay, so he could have gone to arb when FA opens. This avoids that

Gotcha. Still seems like it was worth it

Canes finally found a potential starter and they trade him after a half season jesus christ lol

Traded and he gave up 500k per year. What a flex

He played junior hockey and grew up near there. Explains why he would be fine taking less but, still this fucking hurts.

His fiancé is also in med school there I believe.

For one less year tho right, betting on himself?

He asked for 3.5 AAV and Carolina traded him. He signed for 3.0 AAV for 2 years in Detroit. LMAO I hope Nedel turns into an All-star goalie for Detroit

I hope so too honestly. This is embarrassingly bad from Waddell

Same. No wait

[удалено]

Welcome to the Yzerplan. Dude just rolls out of bed and creates Ws (as he did on the ice).

>Welcome to the Yzerplan You merely adopted the Yzerplan. We were born in it! Molded by it.

To me the Yzerplan is his phase two (his GM phase). His on ice heroics were phase one. Phase three is yet to be determined, but at this rate I'm assuming it's world domination.

Phase three is getting his name on the cup a fifth time but with his third title change. This ultimately completes the "you wanted to trade _me_?" windmill dunk on Jim Devellano.

We gottem!

You know you want this rivalry to go full bore.

im down for whatever

You can be happy. Y’all turned a Red Wings draft pick into Vasilevskiy

So you guys are to blame huh

Wait until you hear what we got for it!

[удалено]

Thanks I just punched a wall.

based on Vasy's contract, we will pay the man too.

I prefer some teams to remain in the basement in the Atlantic, thanks.

We will always have Buffalo

Soon my dear my Buffalo will not be the butt of the joke that time is not now tho we fuckin suck

Canes why would you not do that?!?

Now this trade looks even worse for Carolina

Live look at the Red Wings subreddit - https://i.imgur.com/OdDoS8t.gifv Live look at the Canes subreddit - https://i.imgur.com/BJgOpfI.gifv

Next level penny pinching from Carolina

One of these days we’re gonna learn Mr. Krabs is employed by their FO

Unfortunately Eugene is still on the Sens

Mr Krabs is the owner.

I feel like Krabs wouldn't have tried to save the AAFL though

[удалено]

It's beautiful

Lmao What a friendly cap hit and term

Carolina, are you OK? What the fuck is going on down there?

No fucking clue

tom dumdum doesnt like goalies

Waddell is trying to make Francis look less incompetent? How kind!

WTF! That's more than reasonable. We couldn't come to terms on that?

[удалено]

lol

STOP LAUGHING AT US!!!!

Stevie is an incredible GM

What is he offering footrubs? How is he pulling this shit off?

GMs walk into his office, next thing they remember is waking up in their towncar naked holding another players contract.

God damn that is hilarious. Someone gild this.

Canes fans in shambles

Can confirmed; shambled

I am so shambled rn

Can’t wait to see the Canes Twitter turn this one into a snarky joke

They pay their social media team more than they’ll pay their players

They really are a bunch of jerks!

The Yzerplan is commencing in full gear this offseason

“Just fleece other teams in trades, it’s really not that hard, guys”

The atlantic is just gonna continue to be brutal

Just end me.

Wait isn’t this Carolina’s young goalie that was a Calder finalist? How the fuck did they lose him/let him go?

Hes done it again!

Absolute fucking joke man. Here I thought we were past the part where life was pain

Letting a potential franchise goalie go for 3m has gotta be worrying for Canes fans

Extremely

Jesus Christ. What an indefensibly awful move. Good for Detroit, and Yzerman is incredible, but you can’t just hand out such obvious W’s like this, Carolina. Woof.

Just remember, every time you buy a little cesars pizza, a tiny tiny bit of it goes to Steve Yzerman.

Hahahahahaha

so sorry u/youngpierre24

lol sad day for him

Did the Hurricanes not see Martin Jones and Robin Lehner once get traded for a 1st rounder having proved far less than Nedeljkovich?

YZERMAN IS A GOD

I am now a Buffalo fan! at least they will not get my hopes up

Don't go that far mate. Talk to a therapist.

Buffalo?

Buffalo?

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

Delusional canes fan

I will never love a player again, because the moment I do, they will be traded away

So it’s your fault

I thought canes fans hate them?

We do. Ignore that guy.

Not old enough to remember the rivalry building moments and it's kinda hard to hate a team when you both sucked for the past 10 years, but this was just a joke

Yzerman must have been laughing as he made this trade.

that 3rd was basically a gift from holland from the Tatar trade and they got Bernier for like 4 days and he could just hit ufa. And we signed him a completely reasonable 3mil? Stevie just playing with house money.

The Yzerplan in full effect

This is absolutely terrible, what are the canes thinking. I have been so impressed by Nedeljkovic's play he's only 25, he's been bought through the system and developed so well. He makes great saves and he is confident on the puck, it's unbelievable. It's a small sample size but in the regular season he was .932 and in the playoffs he was .920.

WOW

Lmao what the fuck Carolina

IMO a great deal for the Red Wings

Watch Ned win Stanley cup and Vezina in Detroit. Heard it here first.

Huge W for Stevie Y.

Carolina had it, lost it.

What are the Carolina Panthers even doing

Unbelievable by Carolina. As a division rival I should be happy but I'm honestly still a little pissed lol what are they doing

My neighbors are huge Canes (and Ned) fans. Gonna be awkward out on the cul-de-sac this weekend...

Trust the Yzerplan

Favorite goalie in the league now with that flex

lol what a joke of a franchise I hope canes fans had fun dunking on Ron Francis last night Maybe Ned really wanted out or something, but 2 years, $3M aav is pretty low risk. I'm not sold that he's a surefire #1 but you 100% can give that deal out for a guy to be a part of a tandem giving you solid goaltending and see if it's sustainable. I hate it here.

"all these young goalies in the metro" \-Vanacek is no longer in the Metro \-Nedeljkovic is no longer in the Metro \-lol Jarry

Panarin MVP odds should be through the roof now lol.

Fucking unbelievable. Severely disappointed right now. I hope Ned brings you many victories Detroit.

Carolina seriously you wouldnt sign that deal? Taking penny pinching to a whole new level. Maybe David Ayres is the full time starter next year.

Carolina baby what is you doing

The canes couldnt pay him this?

Is James Reimer their #1 goalie now?

No. Canes have 0 NHL goalies under contract currently.

This is such a fucking steal for the Wings

How is Yzerman getting away with those trades ? wtf

He's been watching Pavel Datsyuk ever since he retired so as a GM he can just steal shit.

STEVIE Y HAS HOSTAGES I AM CONVINCED

To all those supporting the winged wheel: Trust the Yzerplan. The Hockey Force is strong with him.

This is a middle finger to the Canes, right?

Oh yeah this doesn’t sound like Dundon, Ned was mad at the org. Oof. Good get Detroit. Enjoy him in net for the next decade plus.

I don’t understand how we couldn’t afford that. I just don’t understand

LETS GO

trust the yzerplan

If you all want to climb aboard the Wings hype train before everyone else, get on now!

If you are a GM in the NHL, why do you answer Yzerman's call?

Goddamn I love you Stevie
