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

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Fine, I will say it then...Jets deserve this

Ok and why do you feel that way is my next question? Seems you hold some very sour grapes. Did a Jet run over your dog or steal your lady or something dastardly like that?

Shesterkin >Sorokin> Hellebuyck

This is a joke right? At the time of signing, Sorokin had played 22 NHL games and Shesterkin had 47. This is like saying Hughes is on a 8x8, so that should be plenty to sign any 100 point player in the league.

The comparable for Hellebuyck, at time of signing contract, assuming he has a decent year next year is Bobrovsky. Take into account cap going up, and he should get 10 comfortably.

 

[Hodge]

It is your opinion that Hellebuyck 2nd best goalie in the league.

Judging by his playoff performances he is not even close to be 2nd best goalie in the league.

You're right, I guess Adin Hill is actually the best goalie in the league.

Take into account that Hellebuyck is really bad in playoff

he has a career .916 in the playoffs, some of those years he had horrible defensemen playing in front of him as well... and the only 2 years he was under a .910 was 4 games in the bubble and the 5 games this year vs vegas where we were missing our norris level defensemen for 3 top 6 for a lot of that as well

 

[Blitzkrug]

I think he ends up in LA. Seems a bit convenient it comes out they're not bothering with Korpisalo and this comes out shortly after.

Second pick would probably be Pittsburgh. I know the Michigan connection is right there but he was pretty clear earlier in the year he wants a shot at a cup. Short term these two options are better for that i would think.

I mean you can come to this conclusion if you don't actually watch any of the games I guess

Yeah f*** us Jets fan in particular. We deserve nothing.

Well we all know Bob is the best goalie in the league then, if we are going by playoff performance only. OR perhaps we take into consideration the entire package of what they have done.

jesus christ. when it rains, it pours

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

His AAV is 6.16 right now, probably would need a raise and 8 years to agree to a deal today. Not many teams would be interested in that I don't think, might return more trade value as a pure rental with 50% retention to a cup contender.

 

[Daximus]

my god,,,,, rip Winnipeg fans

We knew this was coming.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Yeah, because having the 2nd best goalie in the league locked up long term will really prevent a team from being good.

My top 5 goalies would include Connor Hellebuyck, I’d say he is more in the 4-5 range not top 3.

 

[Daximus]

jesus christ. when it rains, it pours

This is gonna have a ripple effect. PLD wants out, Helle wants out Scheif wants out. Connor and Ehlers aren't up for a rebuild so they likely follow suit.

 

[SENStastic]

I'm shocked! What's next, they shipout Scheifele? Say it aint so.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Why not Detroit? He's a Michigan guy isn't he? They could be good soon and definitely need a goalie.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

jesus christ. when it rains, it pours

Don’t worry at least Winnipeg won’t be paying $10mil per season for a goaltender.

Opens all kinds of possibilities for their roster once the books clear.

 

[Daximus]

My top 5 goalies would include Connor Hellebuyck, I’d say he is more in the 4-5 range not top 3.

I think you can probably argue that there are about 5 goalies at the top of the league right now Vasi, Helle, Sorokin, Shesterkin and Saros with a few more knocking on the door and just need a bit more time to prove it.

Yeah f*** us Jets fan in particular. We deserve nothing.

Quick is 2 wins from his 3rd Cup?

 

[EpochLink]

Not a surprise tbh, time to sell assets for whatever you can get.

Ottawa, Los Angeles should be all over this

No other goalie has been as consistently great for as long as Hellebuyck except Vasy. Shesterkin and Sorokin may overtake him soon but they haven't played enough games yet IMO.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Why not Detroit? He's a Michigan guy isn't he? They could be good soon and definitely need a goalie.

He wants to win a cup and is 30. I'm not sure i'd be hedging my bets on the Wings when you have an up and coming LA potentially a goalie away or Pittsburgh.

 

[Hunter368]

jesus christ. when it rains, it pours

This is a good thing, not bad. Rebuild was the proper direction not restructure and hopefully this triggers the rebuild now

 

[Guffman]

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.

And this was based on…. writer speculation?

 

[FSL KINGS]

Issues for LA
Cost to acquire
Cost cap wise to re-sign
Fitting the salary this year means retained salary, that seems like WPG's owner wouldn't do.

Vilardi is a non starter.
