Valriera Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 All these crazy ass deals getting signed bc the cap going up, and we're sitting here not winning with Fox, Mika, and Kreider at 8/8/6 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsm7302 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 So happy Hellebuyck is not going to NJ or anywhere else relevant in the Metro for that matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphinity 2.0 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 The Scheifele contract is wild from a Jets standpoint. The Hellyebuck contract is wild from a Hellyebuck standpoint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Probably around if not more than what Shesterkin's next contract looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I mean, I'm glad NJD never get Hellebuyck, but good lord these are going to age terribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Oooof!!!! I'll bet these deals were made over some pretty strong hallucinogenics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 This makes whatever Shesterkin will get look like an even better deal. I also didn't realize he was already 30 years old. I thought he was 28 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 They're incredibly important, but not at the expense of a functioning salary cap. I'd much rather spend money on game-breakers — scorers, defense — than the player who cannot literally win you a game. Shesterkin is incredibly valuable right now because he's priced so affordably. The moment you double his AAV, which is probably what he's "worth," and all that goes up in smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Indeed. Thankful he's still under team control for this year and next at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, both of those teams had great systems and insane depth. The system Colorado employs has generally made a lot of their goaltenders look great. Fingers crossed they can still get something done with Igor in a couple more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also helped that they have had great systems and a lot of talent is all. Hopefully when Igor is due for a pay day they have both. And who really saw that coming from Adin Hill anyway? lol Edited October 10, 2023 by Sharpshooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, and look how successful a bunch of teams are with affordable goalies still: Avs with Geo (3.4), Stars with Oettinger (4.0), Canes with Andersen (3.4) and Raanta (1.5), Bruins with Ullmark (5), Swayman (3.475), etc. etc. Hell, most of the best teams in the league's combined cap hit is lower than double digits. The only team with a high-priced goalie who's been successful is Tampa, and they basically have to strip their own team down every off-season because they can't afford to keep anyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Having said that, the Rangers are probably going to give Igor like $9 million per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
