Hellybuck trade 95 percent certainty

Post by IsDurbanodoingtime »

Winnipeg writer Mcintyre opining that Hellybuck will not be starting this season for the Jets. Any scenario where Stuart Skinner is the number one in Winnipeg is one where they are looking at a lottery pick next June. I don't care what the potential return will be.

At this point what top tier team has the salary cap space for him?

The conventional thinking is Buffalo or Carolina. Go figure.

Cap hit is 8.5 million, meaning 14 teams have the space, not counting contract going the other.

This guy should have a stay away sign. On him.
However both Carolina and Buffalo seem to make bad goaltending decisions. So I can see either jumping on that train.

Binny is the guy any top team should want backstopping

I still wonder why you decided to stop learning your writing and punctuation skills during your first week of kindergarten.

Great post. I guess you feel apart when you [shirt] all over the boards
I'm sure the rest of the taco talkers will feel better about your opinions. But to me. It feels like you are a weak follower with lows self esteem that just wants to be considered. One of the good ones

I guess Buffalo makes sense, as they have the space and the assets to make it worthwhile as well as the potential for Hellebuyck to agree along with a Team USA mate.

If Buffalo trades UPL for Hellebuck and still has Lyons what happens with Ellis? Are they going to continue to carry 3 goalies all season again?

That was the GM stealing him from us. They will most likely move him to waivers

but i was that guy. there is poor grammar and then there is the brain-draining drivel this putz types up with periods in random places and unfinished or totally random and non-sensical (bleep) that only makes sense in his head. we aren't talking the difference between you and you're here. thanks for checking in.

Appreciate it. His point is to shut up posters and opinions him and other fluffers don't like.
They take it personally. Like sixth grader would their heros.
