I like locking up Helle. I don't like going into next season with Broissot as the #2. I don't know what the options are because after signing our other players we'll be right up against the cap, but I don't think Broissot is a goalie you run with as a #2 when you're a cup contender. Hope he proves me wrong.

If you are making your backup Broissot as a legit contender you are a f***ing idiot.

You burn out your star goalie, and you are toast if he gets cold or injured. Beyond stupid.

Get a good veteran who can push Helle, give him some PROPER rest through the year and be an insurance policy. This Jets team could win a series with average goaltending (they did it this season).

Why is Chevy so incompetent when it comes to goaltending?

He's putting all his eggs in one Hellebasket! He may try to improve the backup down the road if necessary and depending on what happens this summer with the RFAs.

But yeah, if not for Hellebuyck panning out, I'm not terribly confident in this management team when it comes to goalies.

Just think... we could have had both Hellebuyck and Vasilevskiy, and never had to deal with Trouba and his entourage. Roads not taken. :(

Well, let's not get greedy... :laugh:

But the Jets 2.0 history with goaltenders is mixed at best. If not for Hellebuyck I don't know where we'd be.

Perhaps they'll give Broissot a number of games until January, at which point if he's not working out, make a goalie acquisition a small part of a Trouba trade. Trouba for 2/3D (or 2C) + 2G

I wasn't including Broissot in the trade; he would be sent to Moose. Trouba trade could be like Patches trade, where it's likely an extension was pre-negotiated.
