June 23, 20178 yr comment_270957 Just now, Atomic said: The problem is that Lundqvist is under contract for four more years while Raanta will be a UFA after this season and would command a starter's salary or close to it. No doubt but if the Rangers think they can win now, you would think they would want a solid back-up? Also, Lundqvist has had health issues recently.

June 23, 20178 yr comment_271006 fans of the winnipeg jets sez: The Jets are likely targeting one of Elliott, Mason, Bernier, Johnson or Condon. A veteran with something to prove and would be agreeable to a short term contract in order to earn a bigger longer contract somewhere in the future. The Jets are still committed to the young goalies for the future but yes especially for the coming season need experience to help mentor and play 30-40 games or so. They are not going to sign or trade for a goalie on a long term deal because they will lose either Hellebuyck or Comrie. While a trade is possible, the Jets won't sacrifice a prospect for a goalie, making a UFA signing much more likely. The Jets can not sign a UFA until July 1st at the earliest.

Pure hearsay, nothing concrete to suggest bringing in another guy means you have to deal CH or EC. Long term deal sensible? I'd think not, but doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Though, I agree. Signing a FA early July seems the logical route. I think I'm favour of Steve Mason as our guy. I still remember him struggling BIG TIME near the end of his tenure in CLB, but that was some time ago. He's a .918 goalie in the 5 years since. And during that time, Philly's often been the defensive black hole the Jets are. Good fit.
June 23, 20178 yr comment_271010 Islanders talking to several teams (not the Jets) amount Hamonic but want 2 first round picks. Are the Islanders in cap trouble? Why get rid of a good player & character guy that supposedly they love?

Where was this thinking halfway into last season when it was not working out. Experience to help mentor is a goalie coach. Edited June 23, 20178 yr by FrostyWinnipeg
June 23, 20178 yr comment_271029 Caps better win next year. Their window will close pretty fast. And hard.

Goalie coach. Please. Hes just there to keep the goalies confidence up. I believe it was @Noeller who said... Jets dont have a goalie problem... They have a team D problem. Its time to realize that. We give up way 2 many quality scoring chances and until that changes it truly doesnt matter who the goalie is.
June 23, 20178 yr comment_271038 That may well be but you minimize the goalie coach far more than every team in the league does and the players, many of whom have talked about their coaches and how much they've helped them improve.
