Description

Just wanted to see what it would look like.

Jets have a lot of issues and should probably blow it up. Gotta think Hellebuyck would be interested in re-signing long-term. Husso hasn't had a good start and Cossa doesn't look so hot at the moment either.

ROR has the connection with Perron and is probably one of the best 2Cs available at the moment. Would be a good fit.

Gudas was one of Yzerman's first draft picks with the Lightning. Seems a good fit for some gritty right side veteran depth.

With Detroit's awful lottery luck I think Yzerman does what it takes to get DeBrincat and signing Gudas makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure ROR would sign in Detroit but as a Blues fan what do you think?

Huge pass on Hellebuyck. He's 30 and his contract expires next year.

Quoting: jwg314

Y'all already have a pretty solid prospect pool. I agree this is kinda forcing contention, but you can kinda afford it. Doesn't really feel like an Yzerman move, but this is a contending team, no?

We still have Several holes.

Detroit passes, not giving up the 9th OA pick for a Goalie who's heading for the wrong side of 30 in Connor Hellebuyck. If he wants to come home. We can just sign him for free on July 1st 2024 and not give up the assets for him.
