True, but the better option would be to eat 50% of Hellys cap to maximize the return as a rental without taking on an anchor of a contract. It will cost Edmonton a lot for a team to eat that IMO
I agree, IF they were just trying to dump Campbell
But as part of a deal like this, I’d say the Jets do it bc they’re unlikely to have another team offer a 1st & a prospect as good as Broberg
I could be wrong, but i think they’d like those pieces quite a bit
But sure,
it would also make sense for them to just eat half of Hellebuyck’s contract
That would take teams out of the bidding for him though
Bc anyone that’s gonna pay up for him would at least want the option to be able to extend him
Which means they’d need Cap space beyond this season
For example, EDM can’t do it without getting rid of Campbell
So now u just took a good offer off the table essentially
