We can fit so many trade rumors in this bad boy. Dust 'er off after playoffs.

hmmm. could probably get a nice asset or two from LA/Buff.
Seattle i'd add. Edmonton? if they really want to go all-in on McDrai. i am unsure what goalies return in trades. it's not common a proven goalie of Helle's caliber is dealt. i can see them dealing ehlers too. you can mark down probably around the top 15-20 teams in the NHL (PO teams + a few on the bubble) that would be interested in him.
This thread is going to be a busy, busy place come Summer.
Fun times ahead in the 'Peg.

Buffalo seems like a good landing spot for Helle. The look he had on the bench last night, I don't think he plans to stick this out...
If we could get UPL, Krebs and a 1st from Buffalo I'd be pretty happy
For Dubois maybe Fla's 1st from Montreal with Beck and Mesar for prospects.
Scheifele I think you might be able to re-sign him, because he's pretty close to Josh, and I think he's going to like being the man on this team again once Duby leaves.
I'd be interested in the return on Ehlers, I'd at least listen. Because Nik seems to have lost that gear that made him so dynamic. His injuries have changed his game.
Wheeler should get a chance to play for Maurice, at minimal cost. Maybe slight retention on one year.
Stanley I am hoping brings in a 2nd.
I think one more d-man gets moved, not predicting which one until the season is over.
Sitting on at least 3 firsts, with Connor-Scheifele-Perfetti as your guns, Niedrreiter for the 2nd line, and Krebs added to the 3rd, I think Chevy would have some room to manoeuvre, bring in some good players. Especially look at a top pairing d-man for Morrissey's growth.

Doesn’t make sense to move Helly yet when goalies typically don’t go for a lot.

Did I miss something? Why are we suddenly talking about trading Helle?
He's the most untouchable player IMO.

Fear of abandonment, really.

Because he wants to WIN and it isn’t happening here! They damn well better be considering it if he’s not signing an extension. Can’t allow an asset like that to leave without recouping anything.

Do we get more for them after July 1 when teams can talk extension with them before we deal them?

If you can't re-sign him, trade him.
Edit : Kuemper went for a 1st and a former 1st round pick (Timmins), and that was in the offseason before Colorado knew it'd be the last pick.
I'd say Kuemper is the closest recent comparable, as he was sneaky good in Arizona. Most of the other goalies traded were younger and unproven, or older and breaking down.
Helle would get a 1st++ If we took back a teams goalie.
Of course I want to re-sign him, but he wants to win a cup

I see Helle with the Kings, maybe CBJ would like to reunite Nik with Laine, Scheifele will re sign, maybe Wheeler to the Panthers for pucks and finally PLD will get his wish. Just throwing shit against the wall I really have no idea what will happen
Moving Helly, if he was willing to sign would be the single most stupid thing I can imagine Chevy doing. Organizations can go decades without ever having a goalie near as good as he is.

What else would you expect from the Trade Rumor thread a day after the trade deadline? Asking for Chevy to go all in?
Gil Fisher

there should be another trade deadline for teams that immediately have regrets from the first one

In terms of the now I agree 100%. The risk for me and I think the organization is the natural decline of a goalie over 30, in reflexes, and the possibility of injury getting older. No idea what kind of term Hellebuyck would want on his contract, but it does seem like his last big one, so if you get into the 7 year range at say a $10 AAV, you are going to have the same kind of Wheeler decline at one point in that contract, and it's much more difficult to replace a potentially injured goalie at the kind of contract. Because I think he gets probably at least Bobrovsky value, if not more. That said if the window if now, that's a gamble you might want to take.
