Confirmed with Link: Collin Delia goalie 1 year 775k

[Mortimer Snerd]

Yeah I'm all for a Helle extension if he wants it. I think we just all assumed based on comments by the media he is gone. We won't find a better goalie anywhere else.

I don't mind paying him either. 9.75x5
But I hope we can get a better backup. I think Comrie would be available. Buffalo probably even retains 50% and takes future considerations.

Rittich - 21 gms, 90.1 sv%
Delia - 20 gms, 88.2 sv%

Rittich was not bad by backup standards. Delia was bad by any standard.

Delia also played for Vancouver/Chicago under no defense. His numbers are going to be much better playing in Winnipeg. And clearly the Jets know that and that's why they gave him a one-way deal.

Well wanted to come here is all I got

I don't know what makes you think Winnipeg's D is so good. And the D in front has only a small effect on sv%.

This guy has been no good in the AHL too.

He is 29 YO and has managed to accumulate just 52 NHL games. That tells s story right there.

Hey there, Delia.

Ohhhh it’s what you do to meeeeeeeee, ohhhhhh is what you do to me

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Clearly the Jets see something beyond the raw sv% - and there seem to be advanced stats to back them up.

 

[MarkWheeler]

Like clockwork, sign the worst goalie available. Nothing makes it sound like this is a guy who should see any time on an NHL roster.

His goals saved above expectations stats and under fancy stats were same or better than Rittich. I'm not happy with the signing either, but he's at least a Rittich-quality goaltender, which isn't saying much.

 

[MardyBum]

They could wait until August 30th and find a similar goalie.

 

[snowkiddin]

There’s a Hellebuyck replacement! Who says the market is soft on 30-year-old UFA goalies?

Capfriendly has him at 775k

I hope you have a good Canada Day. Thank you for your contributions to our board over the years.

 

[Guardian17]

TSN says it's a one year deal for $ 775K and he is 29 years old.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Only question that I want to know the answer to: was he ever an accountant?

 

[Yogi141]

So nice to see that the Jets were serious about wanting to be competitive!

Yeah our goalies are some of the busiest in the NHL facing a load of shots. Without Helle we would likely be tanked every game. We are in no way shape or form a good defensive team.

They could have waited until 1 hour before game time for the home opener, and find a similar goalie.

 

[RustyCat]

There had to be better options?

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I don't agree that he is Rittich quality. But that is arguing between bad and worse so who cares. I have no idea what goals saved above expectations is. And I have no expectation of finding out.

I only hope he is no higher than 3rd on our goalie depth chart.

 

[RetroWinnipeg]

Welcome Delia!

Canucks fan here in peace: I watched literally every second of his Canuck career and I'll tell ya what: you guys just signed the best 3rd goalie in the league. He basically outplayed both Canuck starters when he actually got the chance and, as is Canuck policy, did this with some terrible starts and with some truly awful performances in front of him with the whole team floating around sucking like black holes. When Demko went down he stepped right in and played well until... he had to take a couple of days off to have a baby. Came right back without really missing a beat. Had, maybe 5 bad games, the worst ones statistically were total team no-shows. Won a game in relief even. Won't care where he plays and if injuries hit at the NHL level he can step right in and contribute. An airtight insurance policy sez I...

Makes one wonder how many agents told Chevy to go back to the lake cottage so he could pound sand. I am betting the number is high.

Well that is good to hear. Hope you are right, including the 3rd goalie part.

[gojetsgo]

well I guess he will be our back up until bro is ready? if he's still hurt from the playoffs

 

[WolfHouse]

Chevy's got a pretty low cost lineup... must be getting ready to trade for Matthews haha

 

[Andy6]

The Odessa Jackalope worked out pretty well, so why not try our luck with an Amarillo Bull?
