Is Connor Hellebuyck’s Winnipeg Jets Era Finally Over? The Shocking Truth Revealed!
Coyle: “Yeah, Connor Hellebuck to Buffalo, hypothetical. If it happens, how much better does that make the Sabres on paper?
Hradek: “Well, I think on paper, certainly a lot better. I mean, let’s face it: this guy has won multiple Vezina trophies, won the Hart Trophy, he’s got a gold medal. He’s a really good goaltender, and it fills the slot there in Buffalo. So there’s no question about it.
The Montreal Canadiens can only really offer up futures
But I will say this about the Sabres: (Alex) Tuch is gone up front. (Bowen) Byram is gone on the blue line. That’s some significant depth. They have some really talented young players that are going to be important players for the Sabres that they think can fill those roles, particularly in 2, 3, 4 years down the road. But it’s awfully difficult in the immediate to replace those 30-plus goals from Tuch and the big size and strength that he has, and to replace what Byron was able to do in a second-pair role for the Sabres on the blue line. So it’ll be interesting to see how things go in Buffalo this year, after such a great season last year.”
