For quite some time in the offseason, many believed Alex Nedeljkovic was going win the backup role for the Carolina Hurricanes. Finally, after two seasons of saying “he’s ready, let’s do it” It seemed like he would get his chance, especially after a win in his only NHL start last season.
However, transactions over the last few months have put the organization management in a situation where they have to send Nedeljkovic back down to Charlotte for further development. In his lieu remained two other NHL goalies to duke it out for the back up spot.
