It was also stated that Hellebuyck is seeking a long-term deal in the $9.5M AAV range.
Even though the cost of such a deal would undeniably be steep, the rewards could prove to be exceedingly worthwhile.
The Potential Cost for New Jersey
The question arises, what would New Jersey have to sacrifice to convince Winnipeg to part ways with Hellebuyck?
The Devils would likely need to put forward a substantial offer comprising several valuable assets. A promising player like
Alexander Holtz,
Luke Hughes, or
Simon Nemec, coupled with a 1st round draft pick, might serve as just the starting negotiation point for Winnipeg.
It remains uncertain whether New Jersey is prepared to meet such a hefty price in order to improve their goaltending, but we'll see how this all plays out.
