More like, why trade a top prospect for an old goalie, when goalies can be had relatively cheaply via free agency each year (or in trade for that matter), and especially for an old goalie that doesn't fit in age-wise with the balance of the young roster the Jets are building?
Hellebuyck Hutchinson Comrie is fine for Winnipeg as the roster sits currently. Plus, they get to keep Kyle Connor versus having him blossom elsewhere.
Still a pass from the Jets.
You're drunk man.. old goalie? please He's 30 and by goalie terms he's got 4-5 years left of prime years at least. He's also easily a top 5 goalie in the league. Think he was like 4th in save % and GAA for goalies who played 30+ games.
And this is on a NJD team... which is pretty lackluster in general
I'd argue that with a young offensive team the two experienced areas you'd want filled is goalie and defence.
Jets have an amazing defence and they have great offensive young talent in Ehlers, Scheifele and now Laine.
If you stack the team with offensive tools with no balanced defensive approach you find yourself in the same boat of Edmonton... Not a good approach...
Anyways this is a dumb proposal because NJD says no because it leaves them with 0 goalies to start the season...
