I'd trust Helly to be very good well into his mid 30's. He plays goal like he isn't even trying he is so positionally perfect all the time. He rarely ever has to make an acrobatic save because he is where he is supposed to be all of the time. His fade off will be very gradual and it won't be for several years. If the Jets were a young contending team, most Jets fans wouldn't blink an eye at paying him what he wants. Whatever team can swing it for him they won't be disappointed.
Sadly I'm sure that's true. I only wish I was young enough and good enough to play in Canada (or Detroit). I plan to retire in mouse factory, f*@# Florida.
That seems like too much, but I thought bobrovsky contact would have been death by now, but I'm shocked to see on capfriendly that he only has 3 years left and just had his best playoffs. so....
No!! We will have give up way too much. We are not ready for that kind of trade. I think we have to at least make the playoffs before we can pretend to be contenders.
It would be sad because I kind of like the jets, but if they don't want to resign, you can't pretend like this is finally the year it all fall into place. I love the loyalty my wings have shown their players but it definitely has extended the rebuild.
I’m guessing Helly won’t be hiring you as his agent. At this point any top player will want both and if he doesn’t get it he isn’t obliged to sign and he can just play out the season wherever he gets traded and become a UFA next summer. At that point some GM with his job on the line will offer Helly what he wants. Then he can make a decision on his own where he wants to play.
In reality Chevy plays all the cards. Giving him the chance to discuss contract extension is a nice gesture but with no NMC Chevy could just trade him as soon as he gets a good enough offer. And if Chevy wants something from the 2023 draft the trade very well might come before the extension.
