Hellebuyck is a special kind of player. When he has a rough game and let’s in a bunch of goals, he tells reporters that he really liked his game and felt his mechanics were fine. He would then proceed to have an incredible following game.

He’s got swagger and he backs it up. His teammates thought he was nuts but now view him as a leader. I really don’t mind his comments. Frankly, the Jets actually do have the talent, the salary cap room and high end prospects ready to take the next step to put out a very formidable team.

I think they are getting close to taking some serious runs at this thing. I just hope Chevy nails this important offseason.
Again, we are going to contend for a cup, totally cool. We are going to win a cup, I could even see as a swagger thing like you described. We are going to be a dynasty? :rolleyes: There hasn't been a dynasty since Gretzky's Oilers and Hellebuyck is gonna just go ahead and casually declare the next one? Ok.

To be fair they are only a few pieces away. Unfortunately those pieces are 3 top 4 D, 2 more top 9 forwards and 25MM in cap space. Super close, like only s few pieces and 2-3 Cups away.
They just get McDavid, Drai, Mackinnon, Sid, Ovi, Matthews bought out and on some new team friendly contracts, shore up their defense with a few easy pickups like Hedman, Petro, Josi and Hamilton at league minimum, and maybe add a cheap vet backup like Vasilevsky, and I'm confident they can make it work.

I like Hellebuyck but using the word dynasty after being swept in the playoffs in the 2nd round is like telling the girl on the first date you love her... its a bold move.

More like a virgin telling a porn star at a porn conference you are going to give her the ride of a lifetime. While possible, everyone in the room is going to laugh at you

Honestly Helelbuyck is a pretty good goalie, and the Jets still have a lot of solid core pieces. Plus, they nail all their 1st-rounders... I think the Jets might have the last laugh. Who thought the Islanders were this close three years ago?

Well, what's he supposed to say we suck? Maybe not the best choice of words but I love the confidence. They were the favorites going into the Habs series however they just didn't have it especially after the "hit". They are a good team just need some more work on the defensive depth.

does he know what a dynasty is?

Did he mean to say contender?

I think this is what he was saying with the rest of his comments. Dynasty doesn't make any sense. He was talking about how they have some good pieces and every year more keep coming in, that they weren't far off from contending they just need a couple pieces. Either way, I hope the Jets are done their interviews for the next week. I can't keep trying to make sense of all the shit I'm hearing. Especially the love for Paul Maurice from the players. :loony:

Delusional because in order to be close to a dynasty you have to have one in the bag. What have they won exactly? The rest of your comment is bs. If I said I was about to be promoted to CEO of a company, having never worked at a senior management level, I'd be delusional too. It has nothing to do with sport and everything to do with reality.

Just put that burner account on ignore. He's 2 for 2 on ridiculous posts.

As a Jets fan.....please Connor, never ever use the word Dynasty for a team that hasn't won a damn thing and is currently moving in the WRONG direction.
If they can get a top end blueliner and can find a replacement for Wheeler (age regression is coming), they will be looking great moving forward. They have a couple of minor replacements to find internally (Stastny, whoever Seattle takes - Copp or Appleton maybe), but they have a good start at building a year in, year out contender.

Sure it seems like a silly thing to say, but you want your goalie to be that confident.
