Proposed Cap Clear for Hellebuyck

Matt Roy is not available.

Sorry, assuming extensions is impractical. Way too much for the Sabres for a maybe, besides the Sabres can wait till next summer for what ever UFA they want to sign.

There was an article just published yesterday where Blake and Robitaille specifically addressed Hellebuyck by name and explained why he doesn't make sense for the Kings.

With questions in goal again, has the Kings’ roster philosophy been influenced by Adin Hill’s magic? Robitaille, Blake weigh in

“I’m not sure we’re trying to copy, we’re just trying to see what’s the best thing for us to do. Like, everybody was saying, ‘(Connor) Hellebuyck is available,’ and he might be, but the costs would be extremely high, and then he’s 31 and you’ve got to sign him for what is it, like five years minimum? It could be as much as eight years. And then, you’re like, ‘does it work?’ It works for the player, but does it work for the franchise? You don’t know. Maybe it does and maybe it doesn’t, but it’s a big risk.”
