> One thing to remember about Hellebuyck, who has one year left on his contract at a $6.1 million AAV: Teams poking around on him understand that the goalie’s camp is looking for Andrei Vasilevskiy-esque money ($9.5 million AAV) in an extension. And, I mean, I don’t blame Hellebuyck’s camp for wanting that, given how consistently great he has been over the past few years, once again nominated for the Vezina this season. But as a team executive told me Friday, after watching Hill win the Cup this past week, how much sense does it make to tie up so much cap space in a goalie nowadays? True. But I also feel like you know what you’re getting in Hellebuyck.

NTY on Karlsson, we need a defencemen not a 4th forward.
