If Sens can't resign Debrincat long term. Thoughts on trading him for a goalie with career solid numbers. Apparently doesn't want to resign with his team if they enter a rebuild. Both players are under team control for the next season.

Ottawa trades Debrincat

Winnipeg Trades Hellebuyck

Not sure if that's a straight up trade for value or would need some draft picks either way...But saw a post saying Hellebuyck isn't interested in staying with Jets if they start a rebuild. Ottawa hasn't been able to sign Debrincat thus far and the clock is ticking. Ottawa is entering perenial playoffs contention. Sens don't have a number 1 to pair with Forsberg. We have good goalies coming up, but not ready yet. Hellebuyck is 29 so still many years left. If we can't sign Debrincat, I'd like to see more than draft picks coming back.

Winnipeg doesn't go for that in my opinion, creates a massive hole for them. Also Helly has more trade value, I could see Ottawa taking a look at John Gibson in Ana.

As nice as Debrincat would be, if he isn't signing in Ottawa he won't sign in Winnipeg.

If the Jets trade Helle they would probably want picks and entry level contracts.

I really don't understand why Goalies aren't considerably worth more, especially the upper echelon ones like Hellebyuck.

Get real NotACasual, you have that completely backwards. Winnipeg would most definitely need to add a lot. DeBrincat carries far more value than Hellebyuck does for plenty of reasons. Goalies are far easier to find than proven 40 goal scorers and are far bigger risks to trade for as they may be great on 1 team and terrible on another. You need to stop passing on sens players trade values.

Sosahabs goalies should never be worth more than any other position. They are a dime a dozen. There are plenty goalies more than good enough to go pro and never do for simple fact there's not enough teams to facilitate them.

This is pretty close I would think. give or take a few picks maybe.

@mybad2

Goalies aren't not a dime per dozen, there are only 32 starting position.


Secondly, your clearly a sens fan who acts like a leafs fan by over valuing the team you cheer for. I don't think you would get much done if you were the sens GM.

Goalies don't hold the value that other positions do simply because their job is as straight forward as it gets. stop the puck. Players can be in a slump offensively, but playing lights out defensively so they are making up for it. Helly is a top goalie though with a proven track record of being a very solid goalie for the Jets. DeBrincat is a great player and has age on his side. Don't see the trade happening though.

I agree that Debrincat probably wouldn't sign with the Jets if he's not interested in the Sens. However, Pierre Dorion is the king of 3 team deals, so maybe Helle goes to Ottawa and a 3rd team that suits Debrincat and is set in nets would be willing to give draft picks back to Winnipeg? I'm sure there's a few teams out there that could fit that bill.

@MG69

Lower end goalies are a dime a dozen. but top 10, like Hellebuyck. (arguably top 5) goalies aren't. Goalies are able to steal games for you. and if they are dialed in during playoffs. definitely not a dime per dozen.
