Thread: What lines look like they will be pp
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>Pleasantly surprised with Namestnikov between niedreiter and ehlers last year, I’m getting excited about vilardi and scheifele and Connor, but probably way too early for that lol. Still wondering if there is matching 5x8 contracts sitting in a desk for scheifele and helly. Tune has changed a bit, without a major cap increase will be interesting to see what the interest is next summer if they get the to test free agency.</div></div>

Scheifele signed his long term deal when teams were still giving out the big money based on past performance. Now that Scheifele is older and has performed well, teams are now giving the big contracts based more on future projection. Ideally teams would only want to do 4yrs for both 31-year old Hellebuyck and Scheifele, but I agree that the Jets would give extra term to keep them.

Thread: If A Rebuild Is Out Of The Question then Resign Scheifele
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>If it came down to signing one of Helle or Scheifele it'd definitely be Scheifele for me, no way would I be signing Hellebuyck to some $8M+ ×5-8 yr anchor contract.

The best course of action is trading them both but this is an organization that's content with being mid so they might try to extend one or both of them.</div></div>

I have no reason to doubt The Athletic's reporting on Hellebuyck not wanting to re-sign or Hellebuyck's own words that all that matters to him is winning but here is a scenario where Hellebuyck might consider something like that. If the Jets offer $8 million x 7yrs and Petkau's information gathering says that Hellebuyck could only get 4yr deal in the open market (ends at 35yrs old), then he has to make the call if chasing a cup is worth giving up $24 million in this type of scenario.

Thread: lets go
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Really, who would claim him? I have no doubt Chisholm can play but not sure who puts a claim in, the Yotes maybe I suppose, it worked out with Valimaki for them but he was a 1st round pick so that's a factor, teams are pretty full at the beginning of the season with their own guys so unless they get an injury it seems unlikely he'd get claimed but it is possible.

Losing Kovacevic is still baffling to me, like Capobianco is so important they didn't want to risk losing him?.. lol
Their whole "draft and develop" shtick isn't exactly working out too well when you're losing a drafted and developed player on waivers for a guy with 59 games of experience who looks to be a journeyman at this point.

I see Gawanke got himself a nice minor league salary, hope things work out for him with the Sharks.</div></div>

I don't know the needs of the teams of the teams at the bottom of the league but if one of them has a guy whose ELC they want to slide, then claiming Chisholm isn't a big risk. If the ELC kid performs well in the minors then they can call him up and waive Chisholm (who cost them nothing to acquire).

Edit: that is a nice deal for Gawanke.
