Steve Yzerman is making quick work following the Seattle expansion draft. Shortly after the trade freeze lifted Thursday afternoon at 1pm, news surfaced that the Red Wings are acquiring goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic from Carolina in exchange for UFA goalie Jonathan Bernier and a 3rd-round draft pick.
Nedeljkovic is coming off an impressive rookie campaign where he finished third in voting for the Calder Trophy. The 25-year-old netminder posted a record of 15-5-3 with a save percentage of .923, and a GAA just south of 2. He also appeared in nine playoff games where he posted similar numbers.
