Nice

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

He's an elite goalie. Good deal

 

[HC7]

That's a lot for a 1 year wonder that blew up in the playoffs.

 

[thesensguy]

Yikes....thats a lot of money after 1 good year

 

[Patrik Barkov]

Hellebuyck making hella buck

Good deal

 

[X66]

If he was what he was last year, solid signing.

 

[Hunter368]

Very fair deal

That's a lot for a 1 year wonder that blew up in the playoffs.

You mean the 25 year old Vezina finalist?

I had him pegged around Holtby's deal (6.1Mx5). their stats prior to their deals are similar, Holtby's are better, but Helle has the 2nd place Vezina finish under his belt

 

[tom leafers]

Thats a lot of cash for someone who has had 1 good year as a starter. Hopefully he can be consistent or this deal will look pretty bad

 

[Commander Clueless]

Carries a bit of risk after only one Helle of a season, but a gamble that the Jets needed to take. In all likelihood, they have themselves an elite goalie locked down.

 

[TMLeafs18]

Solid deal. Never really saw any signs showing he couldn’t repeat what he did last year. The Jets should be solid for a long time now.

 

[Paladin2799]

Without knowing to much about the goaltender, they must feel very confident that he will continue with his play

After 1 year its tough to justify a 6 years 6.167m deal.

Then again, Toronto signs Anderson unplayed for 5x5 so who am I.

If he can replicate last year, its a solid deal and cap hit for the Jets.

 

[Sypher04]

It's not bad. It's not exactly good either.

I get that he just was a Vezina finalist and all, but this is also a guy that this time last year Winnipeg acquired Steve Mason as an upgrade for.

If he stays on track, deal is decent. But there is some risk imo.

 

[CanuckGame39]

Way too much money and term for 1 good year.

How many times have we seen a goalie have a great season only to never reach that level again? Not saying this will happen ofcourse. But it HAS happened a lot.

 

[Whileee]

Good deal for the Jets. Hellebuyck has been tracking as an elite young goalie for several years and showed his quality last season. Having him locked up for 6 years stabilizes the Jets goaltending during this window that they have a contending team, and the AAV is very reasonable.

 

[Bazeek]

Should be fine as long as Jets fans' faith in him isn't misplaced.

 

[Lunatik]

Holy f*** that is alot money and term for 1 good season

 

[seabass45]

It's the right deal for him. Vezina candidate after a show-me one year deal. Maybe a little too long but eh.

 

[Voodoo Child]

Nice deal.

 

[Silky mitts]

I would take him for the next 6 years over any goalie but Vasilevskiy so good deal. I thought the same thing about Holtby when the Caps extended him after Carey Price, and he was "coming off 1 good season."
