Way too much. No goalie has ever fetched anything close to that.

Buffalo's GM isn't that stupid, this won't happen.

That might be the ask. The actual selling price is likely a protected first, and maybe a small sweetener that won't have much value. That's the reasonable cost for a rental goalie, nobody is going to just hand him a blank check so he doesn't walk into free agency, and he's looking for dollars and term that I don't think any gm is going to have interest in.
So first, ALL OF THE ABOVE
Second, i don’t see the Sabres going after Hellebuyck
We aren’t gonna want to give him the extension he wants at his age. If he’d sign a 3year deal, then sure- but that’s not happening.
Also, it doesn’t fit our plan bc we’re gonna give our young goalies a chance this year. And of it gets to the point where they just aren’t cutting it for us, it’s probably too late for Hellebuyck to save the season.
For those reasons, AND all of the above- especially the ABURD OVERPAY for a rental- “I am out”
There’s no chance the Sabres do this
Just doesn’t fit our plan
