Theirs goalies like our former backup Broissant as an example that would suffice. Lotsa good players in NHL sitting on benches as big $$ players hog the icetime.
I would miss Bucky and there’d be some rough years ahead but with his value right now and the demand some contenders have for a good goalie, the return for him could kickstart a new era for the jets
Plenty cheaper goalies that do well, we can invest in team defence instead. If Helly wants to go. However I think we can sign him a year more, to allow him another shot to win with the team. I think this makes sense for both parties
Yes trade him, wpgs own fault for being 3 years behind in goalie development, Get Vamelka, Any long term Helle contract will be a Bryzgalov 2.0. He plays too much , need a 1 , 2 rotation
I would trade him for 3 or 4 good young prospects. They need more team speed.
100% trade hellebuck the return will be amazing and salary cap benefit
Never pay a goaltender 10 million dollars
It would be interesting to talk to a scouting expert to hear about the prospect pools of the « contenders » that might be in the market for 37, 80…maybe even 55…because to Hus’ point, if the contenders are « right there » then you’re not getting good roster players and they’ve often spent a lot of draft capital to get where they are, so the Jets might not have a choice but to take futures if that’s who they’re trading with.
It's funny, that when you listen to fans in other markets comment on what the Jets should expect for Hellebuyuk, they seems to think a handful of "B" level players and prospects will cut it. That's insane! My believe is that the Jets absolutely NEED at least 1 piece back that's elite. An elite young player or an elite prospect. Without that, there's no deal. Am I wrong?
