Jets rebuild

No. Sabres not paying that for Helle

Sabres are close to being a wagon. Hellebuyck in net is exactly what they need. Mittelstadt might be a non starter but I don’t think it’s that far off.

They are one of the few teams that can afford the extension Hellebuyck is looking for as well. You get him a year early for 50% retained and Dillon who is a great fit for their backend.

I like this build, kind of got the squad to a place where you could keep building if you want, and the assets to do it, possibly go shopping in a rebuild, maybe upgrade goalie of the future, or try to buy a upgraded dman or forward, and you also don’t have to. Even if it’s not middlestadt, there’s a few options that hit a similar mark for that trade.

THE problem is that Hellebuyck will want a 7year extension,
and i just don’t think the Sabres will even consider that
They’d probably wanna do something like 3 years

It’s (imo) so far off, that I’d be surprised if an extension is agreed upon- and thus, a tough trade to actually pull off

Winnipeg does none of the 3.

Frederic, Mittlestadt and Robertson have no value to the Jets.
