Just had Cory flashbacks, stay away Fitz!
"How do you spell relief, C O N N O R, you flash that winning smile Connor Hellebuyck" I can see it now

So if Patty was the best forward on two cup winning Leaf or Hab teams with over 1,000 career points in the dead puck era he wouldn’t be in? I find that hard to believe.

Any way we can get them to take VV and Palat as part of the deal? You rid yourselves of those two salaries and maybe it would be something to consider. I still think Helle is going to hit a wall and break down at some point, but he might have a couple great seasons in him yet. All told I would probably just stay away.
They shouldn't have signed Palat in the first place and I said as much.

If we could somehow get Hellebuyck for Vanecek + Sharangovich, him as a rental might not be the worst case scenario.
That next contract is just worrisome. He’s looking for his retirement contract and there’s a really good chance he implodes a few years into his deal. I wouldn’t want to go more than 4 years on him or else it would massively backfire.

Good luck convincing Palat to leave a stanley
cup contender, waive his NMC, and move to the least desirable location in North American pro sports.

We certainly need a shut the door goalie who doesn't let in softies If we could do it I would take a flyer on Hellebuyck!

They are never going to move Palat a year after they signed him and we went to the 2nd round. If anything it'd likely center around Sharangovich or Vanecek or even (can you imagine?) Blackwood. I wouldn't touch it and would just wait a year or whatever for ufa
Thank heavens he was as unimaginative a coach as Parcells was.

I do get the appeal as I think an elite goalie performance in front of our team can legit win us a cup right now.
But Hely is going to be so damn expensive.
I trust Fitz, but I don't think this would make sense.

They aren’t trading a guy like Palat one year into a long-term deal. They are keeping him for at least another 2 years. It’s a bad look to make that signing and reverse course so quickly. It’s a turn off for future signings.
He also has a NMC

If Fitz is really looking into the goalie market, does it make more sense to kick the tires on ullmark? 2 years left I think. Reasonable hit. Not sure if he's healthy though.
Boston is in a really rough spot

I don't really believe his last season is repeatable and I'm not convinced he would be better then VV or Schmid.

Ullmark would be hilarious because he has the same agent as Bratt lol
He’s not repeating last season but he’s been a good goalie for years now and would be better than either of them. Still don’t feel like giving up a lot for pretty much any goalie.

Honestly you either try to get elite goaltending that doesn't break the farm and thr piggy bank, or just give Schmid a real shot

Hes not going to repeat last year, but he's a better goalie than VV provided he doesn't drop off.
But given the cost it may take to get him (not a ton imo), I think I may take a chance on that

I’m more than fine with just going with Vitek and Schmid again. Schmid has real potential and Vitek is a perfectly average goalie.
We really don’t need any big splash moves in general. Most of what we need is already in the building, we just need some tinkering.

Getting Hellebuyck for one year while Schmid to become the full time backup isn’t the worst idea. Giving him a big extension is a bad idea.
Not really eager to give up assets for goaltending but to entertain the idea
What about Saros ? Two more years left if they are looking to upgrade in net and only 27
I wonder if Spencer knight is available(issues aside) he may have fallen out of favor in Florida after the recent run with bob

Trotz said he's not moving him unless an offer blows him away
Makes sense must have missed that
Wasn’t sure what direction they were going to go in
