The idea is Elvis either brings his game to the next level or he is bought out next summer. But regardless, this move clearly makes the Jackets much better suited to make a run at the playoffs.

Hellebuyck would go home to Detroit, Long before wasting his time on the worst team in hockey last season. If he's moved he's going to New Jersey not pathetic Columbus.

Would need some different pieces for Hellebuyck, cant see the Jets having any interest in Bean and that 2nd is pretty far away.

To tell you the truth Columbus is closer to the playoffs than Detroit is. But Detroit looks like they are set up better for the long term. Helle at his age would want to win now as opposed to later.

Just ignore that poster. That’s their whole bit. They used to be named “HockeyIsMyPassion”

No they're not, Detroit had just as many injuries as Columbus last year. They were 9th and Columbus was dead last. Detroit could easily finish 4th in the Atlantic. But no way does Columbus have the 4th best team in the Metro.
