If they keep Meier at 8.5, they will already have 54.5 million of cap space tied up on eight players for the next four seasons (of which 3-4 are wingers, no less). Adding Hellebuyck at something closer to 10 would probably make a lot of roster decisions very painful down the line - there will be all kinds of Mercers and Hugheses to sign during that timeline. A one-year rental could make sense here, although the trade has to benefit the Jets first and foremost.
I think the most we’d do on an extension is like 8 on a mid term deal. That’d make things tight but workable (I’m also assuming Palat’s dumped in like 2 years). He’d be taking such a massive discount compared to what someone else would give him though that it’s just not reasonable
From all reports and interviews, the cup is #1 for him. Trading for him as a rental and convincing him you're the spot for it could work and you go from there.
Can't imagine he wants to Luongo himself
Feels more like a violent swerve off a 150ft cliff faceA 30+ year-old $10M goalie is a surefire way to slam the brakes on a young team building something.

He backed off the 10 mil supposedly . I’d say he should get around what Sorokin got in his new deal, maybe even slightly less because Helle is older .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.
Yeah he's gonna want at least $10m, probably at least 6-7 years.
Jets need to realize they have to rebuild ...I will say it again. They will use him all year then wish him luck and let him go next summer. Take that 6 million in cap space and get a starter next year. They are better than last year and the central worse and they made the playoffs last year. A motivated helle for a new contract is good for the jets.
I think the Devils are without a doubt looking at Helle / Swayman / Ullmark . Just a matter of if the asking price is doable. No point over-paying as they will just roll with VV / Schmid .It's a decent fit really IMO. Just depends if NJ is willing to either pony up long term or gamble on a year long goalie rental.
1st in the west before shitting the bed in the second half of the season... entering camp with a MUCH deeper forward group. Ehlers, Connor, Morrisey, Lowry signed with term... there's no need to rebuild *yet*Jets need to realize they have to rebuild ...
Chevy is a very patient and almost too passive GM. I can totally see him sitting on Helle and Scheif as long as possible (TDL) and even past that if the Jets are in a playoff race . I do think the Jets can survive not gettig any return at all for both of those guys though. You’d have to think he might be forced to move them at some point ? It’s hard to know what Chevy will do .1st in the west before shitting the bed in the second half of the season... entering camp with a MUCH deeper forward group.

Chevy will give this group a kick at the can then reassess
He's systematic AF... I promise you that chevy has thought this through from every possible angle that he could imagine, including the idea of getting sub-par offers for shief and helle at the deadline and deciding to keep themChevy is a very patient and almost too passive GM.
