They do have some pieces that would be god fits for us. They do have Zib and Trocheck, but I guess you can't have too many centres.
This makes the market for Helle lok really strong actually... let's ask for two 1sts, a player and a prospect...Current UFA goalies with more than 20GP last season and SV% above 0.900 ( age )
Joonas Korpisalo - 18-14-1 - 2.87 0.914 (29)
Adin Hill - 16-7-0 - 2.50 0.914 (27)
Semyon Varlamov - 11-9-2 - 2.70 0.913 (35)
Antti Raanta - 19-3-4 - 2.23 0.910 (34)
Tristan Jarry - 24-13-2 - 2.90 0.910 (28)
Alex Stalock - 9-15-2 - 3.01 0.908 (35)
Frederik Andersen - 21-11-1 - 2.48 0.903 (33)
Jaroslav Halak - 10-9-1 - 2.73 0.903 (38)
David Rittich - 9-8-0 - 2.68 0.901 (30)
Other mentionable
Laurent Brossoit - 7-0-0 - 2.17 0.927 (30)
Alex Lyon - 9-4-1 - 2.89 0.912 (30)
My guess is we hear the same for Wheeler soon.
Wheeler won't have to go on waivers due to his NMC clause, I believe. At least that's what they mentioned on the draft broadcast earlier.
Retained is fine with me if they throw in another prospectHeard the TSN panel talking about this and Dreger seemed to think there's interest in Helle, but only if retained. Likely cap strapped teams that feel he could help next year.
Chicago's roster strategy is confusing to say the least...Corey Perry traded to Chicago

NJD still makes sense because trading Vanecek as part of the deal is your salary dump but also works for the Jets until another option is found
I think you have to push for Mercer or Nemec - basically straight up with VV as a throw-in
if I'm NJD, I'd do it especially after this playoff disaster - then hope that Holtz emerges as your top 6 RW

Toews is a far better 'insulator' than Perry... that's more my pointChicago is trying to bring in forwards that can insulate Bedard on and off the ice. Hall as a still good but former 1st overall pick and Hart winner. Perry as a grizzled vet who is also a past Hart winner.
Pittsburgh did the same the year Crosby started with them.
Two players acquired for basically nothing for Arizona's leading scorer. Ya where do they sign up.Toews is a far better 'insulator' than Perry... that's more my point
I mean take a look at that roster and explain the strategy - you want a superstar learning habits from Hall and Johnson? Looks like a top 6 that will just teach Bedard how to cheat offensively
I'd flip Hall and Johnson (or some money laundering combo) to Arizona for Keller
NJ fan here. ha cap space goes quickly. But I don't think they'd want to go more than 6.5 for him and probably no more than 4 years max. Great goalie, but 30, and the last 2 goalies to win were HIll, Kuemper and if you skip Vasilievsky, you have Murrray, Binnington to name a few. Very few teams get there with 8+M goalies and you don't need to. Certainly at 30 years old.NJ can't pay everyone 8 million per
Well said. The guy obvious values getting paid more than winning.NJ fan here. ha cap space goes quickly.

I mean, who knows. Anchors are negotiation are helpful.Well said. The guy obvious values getting paid more than winning.
No one wants ridiculously long contracts in today's NHL unless it's a grade A player you signed yourself.dreger on overdrive said flyers tried to give sanheim away
