Honestly I love the Scheifele signing but the hellyuck not so much that I do think is slight overpay 7-7.5 mil would a probably been fair
Edmonton/Montreal fan here… I'm happy for Winterpeg 🙂
8.5 for a top line centre and top of the line goalie isn't bad.. maybe the term is a bit long, especially for Sheifle.. but thus is amove they need to makenif they want to stay competitive
One of those two is arguably Mr. Jet 2.0 and played in the team's first game back in Winnipeg, the other has a Vezina to his name along with runner-up finishes. You pay both of those types well, and yes $8.5M isn't a small number, but when you're a small-market team trying to entice your stars to stay around, you gotta do that sometimes.
Kudos to Chevy for getting business done, now let's see if the new faces brought in rejuvenate the team.
Not a cup contender. Massive over pay. See Gallagher in MTL. Yes, you obviously do not know anything about hockey. Maybe its a sign and trade. Maybe.
It's a good move by the Jets, the money is not a concern at all as when the cap goes up 8.5 is nothing, the term yeah it's long and last couple of years won't be great especially for Scheifs but again what was the alternative lose your star goaltender and 40 goal scoring 1C, Chevy did his job well here.
Lol what are you talking about!?
Great job Jets, 2 great players signed 👍👍
I don't know as a Jets fan I was happy to hear this. People were saying helle was going to look for 11M where ever he ended up.
They would both be lookin for more money with shorter term contracts and could probably get it elsewhere. So in my mind it's a win-win they get longer term security and the team gets the cap space.
0:10 Same thing with the Matthews contract
Cant believe people dont like signings
Vezina goalie and 1st line center where are these so called replacements if dont think valued 8.5? And how much would they want? Would they come to a place like winnipeg?
Scifhley is an overpay, especially as he's in his 30 now and has hit his best and will start to regress. But hellbuck is an absolute steal, he's a 12mill goalie they got for 8 so I think when you combine the two your garting exactly what they should get
PLD was the cancer last year, not having that negativity in the dressing room and could be good for the jets.
It’s not an overpay but it doesn’t make a lot of sense to sign guys deep into their 30s at raises when they won nothing in their primes.
Winnipeg should have $18million cap space the first year of these contracts, not a bad budget.
One of arguably the top 5 goalies in the league, and a bonafide number 1 center. Completely great signings! I'd take either of those guys on my team for that deal! (Flames Fan)
I like how he hasn’t talked about the flames wavier pick up yet
Less percentage of the cap compared to when they signed their last deals
yea thats fine. they probably could have gottem 9mil in the open market tbh
$2 million for each player more than what they’re making now as an overpayment are you effing kidding me Scheifele Scored over 40 goals last year and Hellebuyck is a Vesna goalie the fact that you only increase the cap for those two players by 4 million is insane
People need to F off about Scheifele. I’m serious to God you guys are terrible you’re not Jets fans, If it wasn’t for Scheifele the Jets would never make it to the third round of the playoffs in 2018. It seems like all the Scheifele hate started with that playoff series against Montreal and how people have been so negative towards him. They need to go screw themselves and shut the F up..
I think it’s a W as well especially Hellybuck
I’m so sick of this Mark Scheifele hate and I’m putting my foot down to say shut up, we all know it started with Montreal Luke Evans hit and Scheifele not liking to play with laine, we all know that laine was a selfish player and was not loyal to Winnipeg, so why should we give a F about laine?
I'm so jealous that hellebuyck was extended. I was really hoping buffalo would have traded for him but the asking price was just too much
