The end of a ****ing era.

 

[Gotaf7]

Holy **** it's happening!!

 

[Mad Brills*]

Saw someone on twitter saying that he won't report.

 

[Brock Radunske]

The waiver time is just a formality. A Sunday night beer league wouldn't even put it in a claim on that sieve

 

[Aceboogie]

Solid moves jets

 

[Master Scheif]

Hey, maybe he gets claimed....maybe

 

[Jumptheshark]

happy I did not pick him in my hockey pool

one more year at 3.95

 

[Roundy*]

Jets expecting a rookie to carry them to the playoffs? with no vet backup expect another 2nd overall

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

I can see the Jets claiming him.

 

[bigd]

He'd be a fool to give up 4mil. Suck it up and take the money. It may be his last big pay day.

 

[Hunter368]

Rumours flying for days now this would happen.......finally. The best move the Jets could ever done.

 

[The Rochester Rocket]

How much does this give the Jets in cap relief? if any

 

[MessierII]

This is dumb. They should have kept him on the roster. Not making the playoffs with no experience.

 

[Peasy]

How much does this give the Jets in cap relief? if any

925k.

 

[Guffman]

How much does this give the Jets in cap relief? if any

Nothing.

It costs them $600K for elevating Hellebuyck to the NHL instead of paying him his AHL salary. Most fans agree that is a cost worth spending.

 

[MardyBum]

This is dumb. They should have kept him on the roster. Not making the playoffs with no experience.

If Hutch/Helle bomb we can always bring him back up. No one is going to claim him.

 

[Greg Schuler]

Darn right. It's not like a rookie goaltender has ever won the Stanley Cup either. Only veterans with all their moxie and grit and determination. That stuff trumps performance and ability every time.

 

[backburner]

Is this to clear money and sign Trouba?

 

[CorgisPer60]

This is dumb. They should have kept him on the roster. Not making the playoffs with no experience.

Bingo. Jets fans rejoice worldwide.
