Quoting: Caniac2000
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.
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.
