There's been quite a few NHL teams going through inconsistent goaltending which has sparked trade speculations. Arizona Coyotes goalie Karel Vejmelka is quietly drawing significant interest, according to insider Kevin Weekes.
Despite Vejmelka's modest performance this season with a 3.50 GAA and .892 save percentage, teams desperate for goaltending solutions are eyeing him.
The 27-year-old Czech netminder has 3 years left on his deal with a $2.725 million annual cap hit which might make it a challenge for cap-strapped teams like the Edmonton Oilers for say.
Notably, the Carolina Hurricanes placed veteran goalie Antti Raanta on waivers, adding another layer to the goaltending landscape.
