Whole bunch of meh and a 2nd isn't getting you Konecny even without the retention

You can’t afford Hellebuck’s contract demands on his next deal

That’s not getting Tk lol

"Colton starts with Bahl"

Tampa Bay declines

Zero chance of Connor Hellebuyck taking a 4 x $8,000,000 contact. Good luck getting him for anything less than 8 x $8,500,000 and that's a major discount.

That doesn't even get Travis Konecny at full value, Let alone retaining $2,000,000 x 2 years. Reportedly Detroit is going after Konecny. And i'm pretty sure Yzerman can beat that lame offer.

If TB is forced to trade they get a better offer and send him anywhere but NJ unless they get exactly what they want

I'd imagine if Helle goes deep, but doesn't quite win it all next season, he would take only a slight increase to stay with a contender. He has publicly stated that he's all about winning the Cup right now.

He wants a $9,500,000 x 8

I'd take this deal for Helle.

His agent wants $9.5M. He wants the Cup.

Can we stop with the trading top prospects for Hellebuyck? Holtz, Schmid, and Casey should be off the table period.
