Pre-Game Talk: Jets vs Wild - Sat, Dec 29 @ 3:00pm

You can get that kind of goaltending alot cheaper than $6.167M AAV for 6 years.

Only Price,Lunqvist, Bobrovsky, Rinne and Rask have a higher cap hit. For Rinne the cap hit will go down to 5 mil and this is Bob's last year of the contract.

Sure, I mean, that's another issue altogether together. There's no doubt that Hellebuyck has played below the standard expected of him based on his salary. I haven't compiled any data on SV% versus salary; maybe one of the resident sharps has already done that? (anyone?).

At this point, we could/should probably should take this to the advanced stats thread or the specific goalie threads. Only wanted to address the claim being made in the GDT, certifying that it is correct and providing a reasonable estimate of just how big an impact it's had.
