...doing so on non-elite players, that's where the real trouble sets in. I like the Hellebuyck contract more than the Scheifele deal.
I'd trade the Flames roster for the Jets roster in a heart beat. I imagine they'll get Connor, Ehlers, Iafallo, and Vilardi all done in the next 6-10 months as well.

Hellebuyck was great early in his career.
I would just call him "good" or "steady" these days.
But that's certainly more than you can say for Markstrom, so well done WPG.
Convincing any one to stay in Winnipeg for another 7-8 winters is a herculean task alone.
