I’m sitting here at game 4 at the end of the 2nd period of NJD/CAR. My thought is this as a BASIS of a trade:
Connor Hellebuyck (2024 UFA)
Jesper Bratt (2023 RFA)
This may seem like an over reaction, but the Devils need solid goaltending in the playoffs. They cannot keep switching goalies, it’s not a way of sustained success in the playoffs. The Jets get a speedy forward for a retool.
Another point is I’m sure extensions will need to be involved in order to make this trade solid for both parties.
Additions to balance this out can be discussed below. I understand if this needs to be amended to more of a futures trade as well for Hellebuyck.
