Jets Trying to Keep Hellebuyck with Big-Money, Short-Term Deal (msn.com)

Yeah that would be good except he already turned it down? As long as we don't sign him to an 8 year deal. 

[Goalie]

I'd gladly sign helle to a 7 or 8 year deal. Dude doesn't rely on acrobatics, he relies on good positioning. He will be good into his 40s. No injuries either. Dudes a workhorse too.

3 or 4 years would be good but 5 or more is too much.

I can't think of a goalie that performed well at this age. 

He would be 35 after a 4 year deal and that is pushing it.

3 x 10m would be okay with me.

Give Scheif a 7 x 9m that is front loaded so it doesn't hurt as much when you buy out his last year or two.

12m, 12m, 12m, 8m, 7m, 6m, 6m.

 

I think the Jets waive Capo, send Ville to the Moose and roster JMo, DD, Dillon, Samberg, Schmidt, Pionk, Stanley and Chisholm.

For the forwards, I think they waive AJF.

Good. That means no bitching when they lose right cuz ppl expect it? 

Honest depending on 55 and 37 situation and other ufas to be Dillon Demelo Nino Bro... Jets could surprise but if not, we got some assets to sell for sure

Interesting to note lots of Carolina players and sharks player at the hockey for all centre yesterday.  Seth Jarvis but the Interesting one was Sebastian Aho was here skating also.

Getting tired of seeing daily stories of the Jets in trade talks with (insert new team everyday). Piss or get off the pot, Chevy.

Easier said than done if you don’t have a good pot to piss in.  And rumours are just that, rumours.

Everyday... I don't care about Scheifle but I wish they'd find a way to keep Hellebuyck. 

[Goalie]

Facebook rumors are just guys in parents basement making stuff up. Haven't seen a credible rumor in over a month now

They say that teams are balking at the asking price   give it a month or so, helle will be dealt and I feel an announcement is likely at fan fest that 55 has signed a new deal and Is the C. Josh Adam with A's  

Sounds like maybe they aren't really trying to move them, possible extensions in the works but I'm sure if some team says ok Chevy we will give you exactly what you want, yeah they'd be gone but Jets want to win.  Having a 1 center and franchise goalie helps

I don't know if this is the week that we'll get any Captain's announcements but I am really wishing that Elon didn't F*** up twitter just so I can check the feed while I'm at work

[FrostyWinnipeg]

1 month to go for either the best season ever or the best sell-off season ever

Captain is irrelevant.  I played hockey. My teams had captains.  Nobody cared. Captain is just a letter that means very little. The whole room is full of captains

Thought it was the A's that meant very little.

Traditionally C's are given to the 'best' player on the ice.

Best being the argument you give the C to a player who puts a lot of G's and A's on the board because then their actions match their words.

I've always thought this to be very narrow minded in what makes a true great leader in sport on and off the ice/field.
