This surprising Western Conference goaltender is reported to be on the trade block, according to this NHL insider.

Kevin Weekes Reports that Coyotes Goaltender Vejmelka Could Be Traded

It seems to be that the NHL has a hot goaltender market, as Kevin Weekes is reporting that Karel Vejmelka is drawing interest from several teams who are looking to bolster their roster between the pipes prior to the trade deadline.

👀 Although he enjoys being an @ArizonaCoyotes , Vejmelka's drawing interest from several teams looking at upgrading their G position. Great value contract and really good metrics since becoming an @NHL Goalie. #HockeyX #HockeyTwitter

Vejmelka has decent numbers considering he is playing for the struggling Coyotes. He has played in just 13 games for the Coyotes this season and has recorded a 3.21 goals-against average with a .899 save percentage.

Oilers Could Be a Team With Interest in Vejmelka Considering Cap Hit

Vejmelka is not only an attractive option for the Oilers because of his skill, but also because of his cap hit. He is signed to a deal with a $2.725 million cap hit through the 2024-25 season. That is just over half of what the Oilers are paying for Campbell to play for the Condors this year.

If the Oilers can find a way to shed some of Campbell's contract, they may be able to acquire a goaltender after all.
