<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SKWPG</b></div><div>Yup, it was removed. The OP had Jarry, Ty Smith and a 2nd for Helly. That's the worst offer I've ever seen posted for a 3 time Vezina nominated goalie who has won it one time already, is in the prime of his career and getting better all the time.

Helly is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than Bishop and Kuemper were at the time of their trades.

Helly wins games all by himself. The Jets are crap and yet they made the playoffs riding a goalie who played over 60 games. If it wasn't for Helly, they wouldn't have made the playoffs.

If a team can make him only play 50 games in a season, he would be so much more ready for the playoffs and on his own guarantees a team makes it to the playoffs and possibly all the way.

Anyone comparing Helly to Bishop or Kuemper in their best days does NOT watch Helly play.

With the very very few quality goalies available this summer, Helly is going to get more than any goalie has in recent history or maybe ever.</div></div>

Hellebuyck is a quality goalie, and better than either guy I mentioned, but goalies aren't traded for big returns. It literally never happens. Will he get more than those guys, maybe? Will it be a ton more? Probably not.

But we will see.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SKWPG</b></div><div>Seeing most Canes fans passing on this.

This is a serious Mortgage your future for right now kinda thing.

This is a win win and here's why.

Helly singlehandedly wins most of the games for the Jets. The Jets suck. Flat out. Imagine a 3 time nominated Vezina goalie who has won it once already, just turned 30 and having another amazing year. Not saying he guarantees the Canes a Stanley Cup, but if you play your backup 1/3 of the time to give Helly some rest, so he's not completely burnt out by the playoffs, and you had a natural scoring threat like Kyle Connor, the chances of winning it all just went up.

WPG "should" be rebuilding now and this definitely helps them to expedite the build.

CAR would have to win in the next year or 2 to offset giving up so many assets, but it's winning the Stanley Cup the goal?</div></div>

Canes fans says no to everything

It's clearly a win-win trade, and Hellebuyck would resign with them IMO
It's not THAT much future going the other way, maybe remove Gleb Trikozov but it's two good prospect with two late 1st + Suzuki
Getting a top goal scorer and Hellebuyck is definitely worth it IMO

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SKWPG</b></div><div>I promised myself I wouldn't look at any of the DET proposed trades for Helly. Oh why oh why do I look.

This trade Helly for Hanas and the 2023 1st round pick (NYI) is bad for both teams.

DET isn't ready for Helly - It's not a good match. He wants to win NOW!

DET thinks every player on their roster is the best thing since... McDavid. So, NO trades between WPG and DET, because DET won't make a hockey trade. I thought the Laffs were off the charts when they keep trying to trade Marner and his overpriced contract. But, now Laffs fans seem more rational that DET fans.

Helly going home just doesn't make sense. He needs to go to a team that could win it all next year or at least within the next 2 years. DET is 3+ years away, If Cossa does as well as they think he will and all of their kids work out as well as they think they will.

I don't doubt Yzerman, because he knows about Dynasties, playing on them and building them.

But... ****e happens. You have a plan and then players get injured and some leave and boom... back to square 1.</div></div>

I'm a Wings fan and I agree that Wings fans are the worst on this website Lol. But what do mean with this "DET thinks every player on their roster is the best thing since... McDavid."? Are you talking about trades where Hellebuyck is included or just in general?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SKWPG</b></div><div>As "not a leafs fan" I don't know much about what Keefe does or doesn't do. I do know as a Manager and Coach of elite youth soccer, I DO KNOW that coaches are far more important to teams than most people ever know. Do you really think Keefe isn't the guy? I know that's something Leafs Management is discussing right this moment. Just curious. I was a Babcock fan and they ran him out and now it's Keefe. It's like in WPG with people blaming the coach, when we KNOW the ROT is in the dressing room.

Thoughts?</div></div>

Keefe is a fine regular season coach but in the playoffs he just doesn't adjust and it cost us. Cost us vs Tampa last year, and it cost us vs Florida. The same small issues have plagued this team. Teams figure out how to take away their strengths and Keefe doesn't do anything to counter. Vs Florida for example, they try to force turnovers and kill you with transition. You beat that by playing a safer brand of hockey based on super tight defensive play, give them nothing easy and they don't score. What did Keefe do? Nothing and they lost. A better coach, like Cooper for example, makes adjustments to the game plan to take away the other teams strength.

It doesn't help that the refs decide to sit out the playoffs after the 1st round. As much as I personally hate that, if you can't beat em, join em. Just get some okay goons to hit everyone and do the cheap dirty stuff that Florida has done so far.
