What are Sbisas numbers like? Would he be a good pick up to play in the bottom 6 or partner with Buff/Myers?

Fair enough. What pic did you have in mind?
Not sure I figured I'd pick when the bets done.
Plus what's the stipulation league average save %?
The only statistics I've seen compared Ken Hitchcock to career averages which is kind of stupid because it's using the stats while under Hitchcock against himself.
Seriously look at Elliott. With Hitchcock and without Hitchcock are starkly different.
Last year under a very shaky Calgary defense with 3 nice top 4 defenders but Engelland or Wideman in the top 4 , on a highly penalized team Elliot still managed to outperform Hellebuyck. More importantly Hutch and Pavs combined for an .889 save % over 36 games last year which really killed us. If we would have had Elliot at at .910 we would have yielded 10 less goals which would have put the Jets at a + 3 in goal differential. The only team in the NHL with a plus goal differential to miss the playoffs was Tampa Bay.
The NHL is so even that it is a game of inches and if we have two goalies this season who are North of .910 or lord help us if they get to the lofty .915 average we will be a playoff team.
Elliot may not be perfect but he is solid and a pretty big upgrade. Until we prove Helly is the man or move on from him our options will be limited.
I was thinking greater than or equal to his career average of .913.
I'm game for the bet as long as the picture is classy. I.e I'll sport another team or players avatar for a month or something.
Yeah keep it classy for sure. I'm cool with .913
All right then we are in agreement.
This is however dependent on him actually signing here lol.
Myers for Grubauer +?
Caps need D and salary cap room so we could retain 50% and ask for a high round pick or solid prospect.
I know we could go with Elliot but I'd rather have Gru long term to battle it out with Helly.
I'd consider Gru to be an even better prospect but I feel the Jets are so invested in Helly they wouldn't make a move like this and sign Gru long term despite his potential.
Resign Postma and have him and Poolman for 3rd pairing RD, and go get a 2nd or 3rd pairing LD via Vegas/trade or FA.
I think if Grubauer was really an option and/or the Jets were interested in him, it would have happened during the draft. The Caps didn't have any pick until the 4th round.
Unless they valued Grubauer more?
My greatest fear is that we miss out on both Elliott and Mason. That would suck.
Elliott is a fairly underwhelming choice. His save percentage is below average and his good years were with really strong defensive teams..which the Jets are not.
Elliott has 'cheapskate' written all over it.
Mason I could get behind, because he has shown high end potential at times.
It would be nice if the Jets made a bold move for a goalie or left side d in a bold way, then I could handle being conservative in the leftover weak area.
But I am getting the vibe Chevy is going to do the bare minimum.

I don't see why we need to trade for a goalie. The market is saturated.
Edit:
Elliott has a career .913 SV% and Mason has a career .911 SV%
And it's a cheaper sv%?
