Winnipeg will never trade him, even though that is a fantastic offer

You need to offer a proven player for Helleybuck.

I think the rumor is that he wants out

Corey Schneider is a really bad comparable.

Kind of the response I expected. If he is made available, I don’t think NJD flinches in offering their 1st.

NJD spending a top-10 pick for top-10 goaltender.

Got a better one?

Not sure if the Schneider trade is the best comparable here. While obviously Schneider was great, he wasn’t a fully proven starter at the time, while Hellebuyck is a Vezina winner and multiple time all star

No. Guys like this don’t get moved.

Remind me, had Schneider won a vezina? Had he ever started more than 33 games in a season before being traded? Had he ever won more than 20 games in a season?
Hellebuyck is a top five goalie.

Schneider was unproven as a starter. Awful comparison

according to who? Cap friendly/twitter users who want him on their team? rumour is Auston Matthews is requesting a trade to the jets

MAF got traded for a bag of pucks coming off of a Vezina season, is that a better comparison?

MAF is also 37 years old and Vegas was desperate for cap space

Your right. I just figured if they went into a rebuild then it’s a possibility.

Also I said in a separate comment that the Jets wouldn’t make that deal.

Schneider’s three seasons prior to trade

2010-11: .929 - 2.23
2011-12: .937 - 1.96
2012-13: .927 - 2.11

Hellebuyck’s last three seasons

2019-20: .922 - 2.57
2020-21: .916 - 2.58
2021-22: .912 - 2.91

Difference is Hellebuyck is a workhorse and has Vezina. Schneider was splitting his starts and had a Jennings trophy.

Offer a better comp. Otherwise, zip it.

yeah i get that. but i don’t think there’s any chance they do that. they’re a contender on paper, just need a entire coaching overhaul

I'd take Kermit the Frog in Goal right now for NJ ... could it be worse? Scary part is unless Blackwood comes back healthy & in better form, there really is no obvious solution on the horizon

It’s certainly been talked about by fans. Which is really all this post is…more talk among fans. All in good fun.

Who needs Connor Hellebuyck when you have Jon Gillies and Andrew Hammond

Zetterlund looked great tonight. Not sure about him playing center though

NEWS:On #NJDevils audio postgame show, @chicoreschNJD said Mackenzie Blackwood is traveling with the team on the road trip and hoping to play a game. Said heel is feeling way better and he can explode on his pushes.(H/T: @MrJaredMoore for the transcription)

Pretty big news that came out of the blue

It’s been so brutal. Maybe the option is volume play. Every year there are a bunch of goalies that seem to come out of nowhere. Make open competition at camp.

Hammond was great tonight. Four-point game in the tank standings.

Yeah, I don’t really know why I put Zetterlund at C and Henrique on wing. I just threw them all in there (as Lindy would do).

Not a bad idea ... look at Comrie this season. NJ could have used him for a spell in here

Why don’t you include games played.

There isn’t a comp. players like that don’t get moved.

One was a starter, the other wasn’t.

The 37 year old? Uh, no.

What's the point now. Just stay home and rehab with Hughes. Embrace the (s)Tank
