Math Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I guess both Scheifele and Hellbuyck have been given the insurance that Bowness is gone after the upcoming season. Scheifele's deal is good -- he's the face of the franchise --. On the other hand, as good as Hellebuyck is, giving him a 7-year deal (by extension, to any goalie goalie in general) is a mistake and the Jets might regret it.

It was important to keep these two, Winnipeg is developing a rep as Siberia of the NHL. If the two faces of the franchise left, who knows, they may have ended up relocating to somewhere stupid like Arizona.

Can't remember where I saw it, but in reading articles about something else, a mention was made that the salary cap is expected to rise to around 89 - 90M as soon as next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icechipper Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 By approx. $4 million. That's what Wild banking on with Hartman at $5 million next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
