who does that condition benefit? Buffalo i'm assuming? because chances are he does not resign, he will likely want a longer term deal that takes him as far into his thirties as he can

Can't do conditions on players resigning anymore.

Buffalo, of course.

Booooooo!

Then we'll need to strike the condition.

BTW, when did that happen?

When the season was canceled due to the pandemic they had to sign a new CBA and that was one of the new rules, pretty sure thats when that change came in.

WPG will want 13th overall because of the Sabres get Hellebuyck the 2024 1st would be in the late 20s not as valuable.

Yep 13th and upl is a good base that just requires a prospect

Reasonable suggestion, but wadr I wouldn't do that with just one year left on Helly's contract and I don't think the Sabres would either. They were on the cusp of breaking the playoff drought without him so UPL, 13 and a prospect is too much, imo. Unless it comes with a one or two year extension in place.

Thx

If the Jets are trading Hellebuyck, they will be starting done sorry of rebuild so Olofsson had no value to them.

They will want picks, prospects and ELC's.

Point taken, but the thrust of the trade was UPL and the 1st rounder. Olofsson could be moved at the TDL for a pick. How high a pick would be dependent upon his goal totals but methinks it could be in the 2nd/3rd range. I mean the guy had 28 goals last season, has averaged 26 goals per 82 games over the course of his career and has been used up and down the top-9 while playing with an array of players.

But, believe me, I get what you're saying.
