Quoting: Victor24
I don't see Hellebuyck above, so I assume the deal was removed but, Hellebuyck won't receive much more than Bishop or Kuemper did a few years ago. An A prospect / low 1st, a backup goalie, and a toss in. He will likely not net a mid or high 1st. Goalies aren't traded for much.
Yup, it was removed. The OP had Jarry, Ty Smith and a 2nd for Helly. That's the worst offer I've ever seen posted for a 3 time Vezina nominated goalie who has won it one time already, is in the prime of his career and getting better all the time.
Helly is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than Bishop and Kuemper were at the time of their trades.
Helly wins games all by himself. The Jets are crap and yet they made the playoffs riding a goalie who played over 60 games. If it wasn't for Helly, they wouldn't have made the playoffs.
If a team can make him only play 50 games in a season, he would be so much more ready for the playoffs and on his own guarantees a team makes it to the playoffs and possibly all the way.
Anyone comparing Helly to Bishop or Kuemper in their best days does NOT watch Helly play.
With the very very few quality goalies available this summer, Helly is going to get more than any goalie has in recent history or maybe ever.
