Wish we had been able to re-sign him because I really liked him in Winnipeg, but I understand that 1. We probably wouldn’t pay him that much and 2. He likely wants to see if he can steal a starter job somewhere and that was never happening here with Hellebuyck fully entrenched as the starter.
TRAITOR!!
He's one of the best backups in the league, but not a starter. That's a hefty contract but he'll likely play very well. We had him at 1.5M, that's the max I thought was reasonable given the circumstances.
