This was during Saturday&#8217;s Hockey Night in Canada Headlines segment. Khudobin is currently playing in the AHL with the Texas Stars as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/o\/oettija01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-01-30_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jake Oettinger<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/w\/wedgesc01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-01-30_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scott Wedgewood<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2022\/10\/26\/dallas-stars-goalie-elite\/\" target=\"_self\">occupy the net<\/a> for Dallas.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">32 HNIC: NHLPA leadership search\/Who&#39;s doing what in All-Star Skills\/EDM interest in Bjugstad\/Soucy\/Khudobin &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TRHo5x01uO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/TRHo5x01uO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FriedgeHNIC\/status\/1619524191040176129?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January 29, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>One main issue could be the Russian&#8217;s salary of $3.75 million. It could be a little pricey for some teams, but some clubs may be willing to pay the price to have a good backup. Dallas could try to retain some salary to sweeten the deal, but it may be a final option. One other positive is that he is on an expiring contract and an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<h3>What an Anton Khudobin Trade Could Mean<\/h3>\n<p>Khudobin was very good in the 2020 Stanley Cup bubble when Dallas reached the Stanley Cup Finals. He has put together some decent numbers in the AHL with a 12-3-4 record and 2.78 goals against average. This makes him valuable for some teams looking to shore up their goalie depth.<\/p>\n<p>There have been a few teams that have been <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2023\/01\/30\/nhl-rumours-ottawa-senators-goaltender\/\" target=\"_self\">looking into getting goalie help<\/a>. He may not be the top prize for the trade deadline. However, the veteran goalie would be a smart play for teams. The trade market at the deadline is always interesting and Khudobin may have a new home.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"PBD3KKoqSqtA6QQv4mmxrA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1236551666\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'PBD3KKoqSqtA6QQv4mmxrA',sig:'SzWhiWTtvgdW3vZpRHETUS8k545bWKM1kKwm_ux6C-k=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1236551666',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Tuesday and it&#8217;s time for another dose of NHL rumours.
