Hellebuyck wants to go to a contender; as bright as our future is, we won't be contending in at least 2-3 years. He'd definitely help, but my guess is he goes to LA; fits his window.

Interesting, he’s a Detroit kid so maybe that would bring him in. I can see LA staying w Korp but you’re making sense my friend

Habs pass
Habs not giving RHP away
PLD can wait he’s UFA

Can't see Wheeler waiving his NMC to go to Chicago, but if he's willing the Hawks probably consider this

Hellebuyck also wants around 8 x $9,000,000-$10,000,000 per. Name me a single playoff contender that can pay him what he wants?

LOL Wheeler has a 5 team trade list, And sorry Chicago isn't one of those 5 teams.

I'd say he'd come to Detroit, and I want him to (and wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to come home), but yeah just doesn't fit our timeline and we don't fit his. As he said, he's getting older and his time to win a cup is running out. I say LA since his timeline and age matches perfectly with LA's. LA has a great pool of players, and a goalie like Hellebuyck would definitely put them higher into contention. Plus it helps that Korpisalo is an expiring UFA this year.

Very limited pool, yes. But its his choice to either receive what he wants contract wise, or to be on a contending team.

Wings pass, trade makes 0 sense for them

The habs would have to be mentally insane to turn down that gift of an offer.

Don't know whether I want this sort of guy in a young locker room. Price is probably fine
