Waived: Ondrej Pavelec on waivers at noon ET today (upd: clears)

[Hank Chinaski]

Karri Ramo is still looking for work. Will probably give you as good or better performance than Pavelec, and could be had for much, much cheaper.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

That was like holding in a poop for 3 years.

 

[Syckle78]

Grats,Jets fans.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Jets should have done this years ago.

 

[Beville]

Probably the one thing every fan wanted to happen, haha.

 

[Le Rosbeef]

Anyone suggesting San Jose as a landing spot is picking a narrative that simply won't happen.

1) They have barely any cap space. $3.9m would make him more expensive than Jones.

2) Dell, the back up, is on $625K. No GM in their right mind would look at Pavelec on 6 times the cap hit and deem it smart, even if they think he's better.

3) If the Sharks were going to claim anyone on waivers, Condon at $525k would make MUCH more sense.

Seriously, where do some people concoct these ideas?

 

[Calgareee]

So who gets the lion share of the work? Hutch or Helle?

 

[aqsw]

So you expect Helle to start 60+ games and keep up his level of play?

It's much better than Pavs playing 60 games and keeping up his level of play.

 

[Beukeboom Fan]

Well - if you look at Pavelec's "level of play" it's not like the bar is set all that high for Helle.

Zero risk move for the Jet's. Good on them for paying the $'s and moving forward instead of riding out a terrible contract.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Congratulations on this monumental occasion Jets fans!

I am also happy because Hellebuyck is on my fantasy team

I wonder if SJ would take him if the Jets offered to pick up half his caphit

I don't think any Jets fan expects any team to claim him. The only way he moves is if we retain salary. Perhaps a team who needs a back up and has a spare 5/6 LHD on an expiring contract? I also don't think that the Jets would bring Comrie up for any reason so if there is an injury Pav's will be back up with the Jets.

 

[Hunter368]

Dancing in the streets. I'm literally have a beer right now celebrating the news.

Good guy, don't wish him any harm.....but time to move on.

If they did, I'd seriously question the competence of San Jose's management. Pavelec at 50% retained is still ridiculously overpriced for the level of goaltending you're likely to get.

And more importantly, compared to what is available for much less (i.e. Dell, Armalis or even Condon...) when you're up against the cap...

 

[robertocarlos]

75% retained might work.

 

[bustamente]

No even at 100% cause he's.......................Pavelec

Maybe 50% at trade deadline as insurance, but stranger things have happened, Dallas

 

[SnoopDogg]

Finally, this guy is awful.

 

[Jets]

Textbook addition by subtraction

 

[allan5oh]

It's pretty bad when jets fans say Pavelec at 50% is a joke!

 

[Paradise*]

Great news. Hopefully he backs up Comrie for the Moose.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

I know it's extremely silly, but for some reason I read Palat instead of Pavelec and my heart skipped a beat.

 

[McSuper]

Off to the AHL he will go.

I heard he was being sent to the WFL . I am guessing he won't report as he doesn't want to get lit up by a woman floor hockey team

Seriously this only makes the Jets a better team . Best move the Jets made this summer . I see it as a 10 point improvement

 

[izzy]

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

yeah it's not like a rookie goalie just won the cup
