Whatever a warm body to play 12-15 games at best.
Someone who is okay not playing regularly and is good in the room.
However if Helle gets injured we are totally pooched .

After two terrible seasons in Buffalo I am not too excited about this signing. I guess Laurent Brossoit's agent told Winnipeg that he has received significant offers out of the Jets price range.
Going dirt cheap with the backup. So much for a load management plan for Helle. Makes me also think they have something in mind today if they are trying to cut cap where they feel they can.

He's not really going to play anyway, so does it matter? The Jets are dead if Helly ever gets hurt I guess.

Had the best backup in the league and they still overplayed Helle. It don’t matter who is his backup.

Here for the hot takes
We weren't going to pay Brossoit $3 million to play 15 games. Comrie ran a 0.920 across 19 games last time he played for us, and he's being paid under a million dollars this time. He's a very competent backup at dirt-cheap prices. This is a Winnipeg lowball special and y'all are still mad.

Your world frightens and confuses me
So Hellebuyck will play another 70 games, get burned out and useless again for the playoffs. Greeeeaaaat.
One of our two goalie prospects better be ready and soon.

that’s just hilarious. At least it’s league minimum. Hellebuyck’s two best playoff performances came when he lead the league in games played. 67 out of 82 in 17-18 and 45 out of 56 in 20-21. The load isn’t an issue.

You really can’t make this stuff up. Unbelievable. How this clueless GM still has a job is beyond me. Can the guy not do anything that’s not the boring, safe, pathetic move.
Sign pretty much the worst backup goalie you can find, so you have to play hellebuyck about 70 games, so he’s worn out and plays like complete shit in the playoffs. What else is new. You had probably the best backup goalie in the league last year though, and nothing was any different. It’ll just be pretty much an automatic loss this time when Comrie is in net. What a pathetic organization top to bottom. I’ve never been less excited about the Jets than I am right now.

Or.....
Just maybe, they plan to play Helle less this upcoming season, with the built-in expectation of possibly losing more games, because, hey, why burn yourself out in the regular season (not just Helle, but the whole team) to finish 4th overall & then you have nothing left in the tank for the playoffs? Just win enough to make it to the post-season & then the whole team will be less exhausted & then have the potential to play better when it REALLY counts. Yes, 4th overall in the NHL was a nice feather in the cap, but no banner will be hung in the rafters for that & an early (and embarrassing) 1st round exit. Just sayin'...

I think in Helle's case, load management means more games not less. He's just that type of goalie. He also never gets injured. Probably because his big and tall positional style prevents over extending type strains and injuries.
Having said that, while I'm happy he's a Jet, his playoff performance has me wanting more from him. I do not think it's due to a heavy regular season though. For some reason his play is not as good in the post season.
