@SpectorsHockey They have become industry standard so they are sort forced into them if they want to keep key players around. They didn’t become industry standard out of thin air though. All orgs are to blame for initially giving in.
@ADiMarco25 Mammoth are probably in the same boat as they have their starting goalie under contract and just acquired a younger guy as a backup and possible future guy. Florida and Edmonton don’t have the cap space this late in the offseason. Very few teams left
@TheLibertyYell And what salary are Edmonton or Florida trading now to acquire Hellebuyck. Florida just acquired Markstrom too. So most likely take them out. Doesn’t leave much.
@TheLibertyYell Flyers and Utah make no sense since they signed and/ot acquired guys recently to stabilize their goaltending. Goaltending isn’t an issue for either team now. So take them out of the mix. Add in San Jose instead
@SpectorsHockey@CargoShortLife@TheHockeyNews Who can afford him? Who has the spot for him? Who is willing to pay a premium in assets for a 33 year old goalie? Yeah, probably not too many in late August. So Winnipeg it is for now I presume
