Another W. Maybe Helle is getting traded...

 

[Daximus]

1 year $1.75 is solid.


Looks like Brossoit and Delia is our tandem. Makes the Helle move more interesting now.

 

[SUX2BU]

Welcome back, croissant

 

[Jetabre]

So does that mean Helle is actually being traded?

If so that’s a pretty cheap tandem

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Helle is gone imo, both Bro and Delia are 1 way deals.

Big fan of Brossoit, I'd be comfortable giving him a lot of starts

 

[WolfHouse]

Ooooh the plot thickens... really surprised a contender didn't snag Brossoit

Still hope he's the backup and not 1A/1B with Delia

 

[Daximus]

If we can keep Helle and Bro is his backup that is ideal. Helle's Vezina season came when Brossoit was his backup.

Jets might have told him sign 1 year, and you'll have the chance at a full season as starter. Sets him up for his last chance at a big deal next season if he takes the opportunity

 

[kenobiwan]

Good to see Bro and Vlad back

helle also good friends with bro so that could help

 

[HellebuyckOurSaviour]

Unless we trade with the Devils and get Vanecek back and run it with Vanecek and Brossoit, Delia a cheap just incase if Bro gets injured

 

[cbcwpg]

Give Bro 60 games and see what happens. Who knows , maybe he can earn himself a good multi-year starters contract.

 

[Guardian17]

Is he our starting goalie or the backup?

 

[KingBogo]

I think this makes it more likely Helly stays a Jet. Organization just signed his best buddy to back him up.

 

[Daximus]

Yeah I really hope maybe this makes Helle re-think and maybe re-up. His best times came with Bro as his backup.

 

[kanadalainen]

Love this pick up!

We can hope.

Helly is a Jet for next season until the Jets trade him. I still don't see the Jets extending Helly , more so at $9.5 million / year.

 

[kanadalainen]

Is he our starting goalie or the backup?

Yes?

 

[Guardian17]

So maybe the money and term from other teams is not there so Hellebuyck is thinking of staying with us.

 

[cbcwpg]

Upside is I can wear my Brossoit game jersey again.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Yes?

Zackly?

I sure hope so! A Helle extension would put the cherry on top of my summer sundae!

We made out pretty well with the PLD trade. We got some pieces that we can plug and play and remain somewhat competitive that is happening regardless of who is in net. Having Helle and Brossoit would give us a chance to not be a bubble team and waste more of the primes of the players we do have.
