Marty Biron's advice on Vej was interesting. He said "Buyer beware, its easy to look good when you're saving 44 on 48 shots against, can he do it in a 2-1 game when there's only 25-30 shots"

Not sure it's great advice, but its certainly a position I can see.

Given his sample size so far this season is 1,224 I think it's pretty safe to say that we'd see similar performance whether he faced 25-30 shots or 48. Biron makes a good point though that when the game is on the line, can he step up and be clutch. In many of the games he has played the Coyotes really haven't been in it, so I'm not sure anyone has a clear answer to that question.

if we could get vejmelka for kupari or fagemo id probably do it. Not even for this season specifically. But i doubt the cost would be that low.

Makes sense, but I wouldn't give up Kupari for him even straight up. I think as good as Vej may turn out to be, there are too many question marks (can he thrive in a winning environment within the NHL / Organization with real expectations, how will he do in the playoffs, can he step up and be clutch in key moments, etc) to give up a 1st round pick with top 6 potential for.

Logan Thompson just got helped off the ice for the Knights, so the price for an NHL capable goaltender may have just gone up.

He was starting to fade anyhow. That was another reason to make a move for Vejmelka-- you get the drop on another pacific team.
