LeBrun: Connor Hellebuyck will not sign a new contract with Winnipeg

[Guardian17]

And there should be no confusion about whether Hellebuyck has interest in signing an extension in Winnipeg. That ship has sailed. His next contract will be with a new team.

Let the trade proposals fly. Dregar also mentioned he doesn't want to play in Canada. So bring on the proposals from all american teams interested.

 

[Colezuki]

So jets in rebuild now I guess

 

[Hunter368]

Will be fun to see who returns more, Helle, PLD or Mark.

Likely seals the deal, full rebuild which is my preference anyways.

I hope so, that was my preference

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Buffalo for Mittlestadt

 

[BB88]

That’s a tough one.

About every playoff team should want him for next season but any team that aims to be good for longer than 1-2 years should say no to his next contract

The scary part is all 3 were on the rumour block when it was mentioned that the Jets still want to compete. So no official word yet but all we have to go on says we want to remain competative. Management gonna sink this franchise into the ground.

That’s a tough one.

Yeah he's gonna want at least $10m, probably at least 6-7 years.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

LA?

 

[Hunter368]

A lot teams, good teams Helle will be an upgrade on what they got now.

 

[Canadienna]

Seems like a Canadian team might have been the most desperate. My bet is LA.

 

[Daximus]

Yeah although Canadian teams are likely off the list for a resign, they can still get him for 1 year.

Can’t access the article - are there quotes from Helle in there? Or is this just the opinion of the writer?

 

[CupInSIX]

Here's a wild one: what about Swayman for Helle, with a 3rd team taking 1/3 of his cap hit?

 

[Rabid Ranger]

He'd look really good on a team on the rise like New Jersey, Buffalo, Detroit, or Columbus.

The article is behind a paywall.

It's a quote from Pierre Lebrun.

No quotes from Hellebuyck.

 

[FerrisRox]

I can say, with about 85 percent certainty, that he will be a Los Angeles King.

 

[Hunter368]

Hopefully this triggers the full rebuild now, PLD and Helle gone, have to assume Mark would say then I’m not extending. Full rebuild please, huge haul of futures for these guys

 

[Daximus]

He'd look really good on a team on the rise like New Jersey, Buffalo, Detroit, or Columbus.

Yeah you'd have to think there will be plenty of interest from many teams. He's gonna want a fat payday to play past this last year of his contract though. Likely in the neighbourhood of $10m per year.

A 30+ year-old $10M goalie is a surefire way to slam the brakes on a young team building something.

 

[BKarchitect]

Really interested to see what the Jets do this summer. Lots of work to do, lots of directions. I’m sure they don’t want to rebuild. But hopefully for their sake they don’t pull a Flames and rush into a bunch of crippling deals for 30 year-olds to try and replace the stars that are gonna have to be dealt.

Big surprise. Name the last NOTABLE US born UFA (pending UFA) who signed with or extended in Canada.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Wot. He’s not getting anything close to 10M a year

 

[Canadienna]

I agree. I know they said they wanted to retool and get some NHL talent back, but it's pretty hard to pull off that many hockey trades with such big pieces. It's going to have to include some futures.

The last big goalie signings have been in the 5-6M range.
