Trades

BUF

Hellebuyck, Connor

Additional Details:

The way I see it, the market for Hellebuyck is Buffalo(rental only with Levi), New Jersey(rental or extension, but I think they'd rather just spend on him as a free agent than give up assets for 1 extra year), and Colorado(cap could make it tough to extend). Dark horse candidates are Carolina(Kochetkov), Ottawa(are they enough of a contender?), and Los Angeles(I still think they're smoke and mirrors, but does he?).

WPG

Additional Details:

This is a rental price. I don't think someone is going to trade for an extended Hellebuyck. I may be wrong on that, but it's my current opinion. Winnipeg should do something like this before they let him walk for nothing next summer.

BUF

2023 1st round pick (PHI)

PHI

Jokiharju, Henri
2023 1st round pick (BUF)
2024 2nd round pick (BUF)

Additional Details:

Trade up to 7 to get Zach Benson when Montreal takes Reinbacher. I can see Leonard still being available at 13 for the Flyers if he's truly their guy.

BUF

2023 1st round pick (COL)

COL

Olofsson, Victor ($2,375,000 retained)
2023 2nd round pick (BUF)
2023 3rd round pick (LAK)

Additional Details:

This one has gotten great reviews.

WPG says... hold on for a second. Okay, putting you on speaker so they can record this offer and ensure everyone hears it, including the person that needs to do the paperwork before BUF hangs up the phone.

Yes, I think that's fair.

Hang up the phone.

WE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this trade.

GM of WPG is knighted and made GM for life for making this trade or he's fired if he doesn't take it.

Yes, we know BUF is very well set at D, but do you realize how good Johnson is and will be? Granted he's not Owen Power, but he won't be that far off.

General thoughts:

Winnipeg wont be able to sign Johnson so he would only be worth a late round 2nd (#64 OA in 2024), Helly will probably cost a young roster player, UPL and #13 OA.
No way Philly trades back, they need as much high end talent as they can get and this is the Draft to do that in.
The Olofsson trade is interesting, i'm not sure where Colorado is at as far as competitiveness next year so I don't what their interest level would be in a goal scorer who brings nothing else to the table.

Not bad for Helle but might need a different piece instead of Johnson if he isn't willing to sign with Winnipeg, also could probably just send Comrie back as the Jets will need a goalie of some kind.

Jokiharju 13th overall pick and a 2nd round pick doesn't move you up to 7th overall. The trade is a joke. And the odds of Ryan Leonard being there at 13th overall is about 0% As Detroit would take him at 9 if Oliver Moore were off the board before 9

Change Johnson to Buffalo's 23 1st and you're good.

I'm one of those that loves the COL trade that you used before, but I'm curious why you think COL would be in on Hellebuyck? I don't see any interest there at all with Georgiev in net and very cheap right now.

Exactly, Detroit would offer Philly far more just to move up 2 spots than this pathetic offer.

Avs decline the trade and also there is no reason for them to have interest in Helle.

Friedman said that he is hearing Buffalo still might sign Johnson. How about Kisakov instead.

I remember reading from someone here, "it's the worst-kept secret that Johnson isn't signing with BUF".

Wonder where that person is, lol.
