Hellebuyck ain't gonna be a ufa lol

I don’t think the question is if it’s doable or not. I think the right question is it worth it to make a move now, or wait 12 months to potentially sign Sorokin and not have to give anything up to get the younger/better goalie. But regardless you have to quote Mercer’s extension somewhere between 5.5-7 AAV to get decent length.

Hellebuyck wants $9.5 million on an eight-year deal (7 years if UFA). Either he is taking a major discount or Winnipeg is taking a major discount. Cannot imagine either side will budge, so he will likely walk in off-season for top dollar.

So very hard to foresee him becoming a Devil.

Hawks already have five goalies under contract, can’t see them trading for two more.

Chicago doesn’t want a goalie and certainly doesn’t want 2. We would give a pick for Sharangovich but not the Hawks 2nd. Maybe drop all the pieces except Yegor coming here for a 3rd or late 2nd

Clearly reading is optional in IL

Hellebuyck will never make it to free agency, Besides your 3 years in term and $2,000,000 in AAV too light on his signing,

Quite capable of reading and frankly you proposal was a complete clusterf**k.

You say this is for 2024/2025 but still trade assets at their current status. So you are either trading Blackwood and Sharangovich now as RFAs and Vanacek with two years remaining on his deal or at the end of next season when who knows what the contractual status is for Blackwood and Sharangovich, they may not even be Devils property anymore and Vanacek has one year remaining. At the same time you have the Hawks giving up draft capital with so many unknown variables so it is impossible to assess whether or not fair value is being achieved.

Here is an idea, clear up the fog in your head before posting anymore jumbled nonsense and then just maybe you will get responses that stroke your fragile ego.
