That's not enough for Helle, but he's also not worth it. Goalie with 1 year left on the wrong side of 30 = bad idea.

That Bertuzzi contract is awful. He's not worth that much for that long. He wants that kind of term, you have to be looking 2 years or less. He's SO injury prone.

That offer doesn't get Hellebuyck, But Carolina is the perfect destination for him. The only problem is that you are going to have to offer at least Vasilevskiy money to sign him long term at minimal.

Canes won’t touch helley

Pulju and Coghlan are fringe NHL'ers. Doubt you get a positive return.

Jets have no leverage on that front. He doesn’t want an extension with them, and his one year left won’t garner a huge return either… First round pick, albeit late, in a very deep draft with two young guys who can have middle lineup impact in the future. If thats still not enough, entertain them with another 3rd or 4th round pick.

As for Hellebuyck himself, he’d be a perfect fit behind Carolina’s D. Its a cheap contract for his overall value, and allows Carolina more to spend. Future deal is a next season problem, lots of people to sign, but also a lot of money coming off the books (Patches, Skjei, Pesce, etc, take your pick).

Bertuzzi whether you like it or not will make that kind of money, hes an absolute stud. Injury prone yes, but he was on the ice for the Bruins in the postseason and look how well he played, exact kind of guy the Canes need.

Def agree that he would fit in CAR, but Jets have very little on their side of the negotiation. Entertain another mid round draft pick if its still not enough but a one year contract for a 30 year old isn’t going to grab you a haul. Contract extension could be done, since Kooch is signed cheap and lots of money comes off the books next year, could afford losing one of Skjei and/or Pesce and/or Teuvo with Nikishin and Morrow in the works.

Not much interesting there for Winnipeg

Yeahhh thats mostly just a placeholder to rid of two players they dont really need. Could also entertain keeping Jesse on a one year prove it deal, 1 mil or so, provides depth if nothing else.

Would have no problem with Helly in the net for the Canes, but I doubt they trade for a goalie if it's going to cost a lot. They would not heap those kind of assets for a position that is not the most critical need. Think top 6 scoring forward(s) with size and physicality.
