"As the summer has progressed there seems to be some thought that Hellebuyck might stay there"
The future may not be so dark for the Jets as Friedman also said this about Hellebuycks perspective.
«I've just been told that the word on Hellebuyck is he has an open mind and he's prepared to just listen to what their thinking»
A Light at the End of the Tunnel for Jets Fans?
This piece of news gives relief to Jets fans as this means they can hopefully extend their former Vezina Trophy winner.
With Hellebuyck pricing himself at around $9 million and only a few teams willing to pay a goalie that much especially when he is on the wrong side of 30. However the Jets could string together a short term deal, that would work for both parties.
This also allows the Jets to get full market value for their star goalie as opposed to getting less than market value which would have happened over the summer.
