Good offer for Helly... if you can afford the cap hit

6.1M with term isn’t bad.

Very good for one of the top 5 in the league.

The going rate for (most) starting goalies is in that $5-7 million range.

You have Price and Bobrovsky over $10 million and Vasilevskiy is at $9.5 million. Vasilevskiy jumped from $3.5 million AAV to $9.5 million. He didn't have that mid-range salary...the Lightning went big and bought out his early free agent years. With a flat cap, paying a goalie over $7 million is a lot but I think Vasilevskiy at his age and early track record makes him worth it. Price still has a "big game" mode in him. Bob is the guy you wonder if he's ever going to live up to that deal or was he just the lucky guy to go to the UFA market and he ripped off the Panthers.

Makes me wonder the UFA market will be like this summer with Andersen, Grubauer, Raanta, Mrazek, Ullmark, Mike Smith...guys that can be a starter or 1A goalie but can any of those guys win a cup? Throw in Rask who I assume will either retire or stay in Boston...hard to say what he could get if he tested free agency. I don't think we'll ever see another goalie cash in like Bob did and teams will probably wise up and not spend like that again on a goalie. The AAV and term was just madness on that deal.

I look at Price and Vasilevskiy...those are two guys being paid like they are the bon-a-fide #1 franchise goalie with their respective team and they're just locking them up the way you'd lock up a franchise center or defenseman.

Hellebuyck has a digestible contract through 2024. You wonder if he jumps up to that Price/Vasilevskiy range when he's a UFA in his early 30s. He'll still have that affordable AAV for now so that makes him a nice value.

lol wew shoalzie so passionate

Why he is still pretty good? I don’t think he will retire based off his comments to the media

I'm sure he just wants him out of the way so Swayman can play more for him.
