Still seems like a good contract

It definitely would be a good contract if Helle returns to last season's form -- if he doesn't it could be a very bad and costly mistake. We'll have to wait and see ??

Not if you count his NHL play prior to last season. In the NHL he's been bad or mediocre much more than he's been good or very good.

That is demonstrably incorrect. His career sv% is .916. That is about avg, or slightly above for a starter. So he has been a roughly equal mix of good and bad.

Well this bump was dumb considering someone is ignorantly comparing Pavelec to Hellebuyck when in reality there is nothing similar to them.

No, this bump was dumb because we already have an active thread for discussing Hellebuyck, Pavlecian propensities or not.

That said, I understand being skeptical of big goalie contracts. But it’s still early so claiming to be some genius at this stage is definitely premature.

Nothing similar with Pavelec... except this and 2016 seasons’ save percentage, that happens to be exactly the same as Pavelec’s career save percentage. Hope he rebounds soon.

Mediocre = average. This year he's been bad. I stand by my previous post.

Yeah, I know what mediocre means.

In your previous post you said, "In the NHL he's been bad or mediocre much more than he's been good or very good". That = below avg. By a fair bit. See the bolded.

And I stand by that. He's had one great season and the rest has been mediocre or poor. Just go look at his career stats with the Jets.

I see a career .916 in under 10,000 minutes played at age 25. I'd say it may be fair to say the jury is still out but we'll likely know by the end of this season where his trajectory is likely to end up.

Re-read what you wrote. According to your post he is a below average goaltender. That is demonstrably wrong. Period.

We've got an active thread on Helle already - posts are getting spread between two threads right now, so let's continue in the other one. You can discuss contract $$'s, or whatever you wish over there as well:
