He gets traded. 

Not this year he doesn't, and if it's beyond this year it's to a contender.

He's got a NMC this year, but he can still be traded.

If he chooses to he can be, but in the context of "He must do X, or else", no, he can't be.

Yes I understand how a NMC works. But often if a teams asks a player to waive it, they will. The NMC just gives the player more control.

A good night when the Jets beat the Canucks 4 - 2.  Even better week if the Bombers beat the Lions on Saturday!

Indeed. Nice road win for the Jets tonight! Hellebuyck is looking solid in net.

Nice to see Helly backstop us to nice road wins in Edm and Van !
So do we keep him in net, or give Mason another chance ?  ???

Helle keeps starting as long as he keeps playing well/winning.

Hellebuyck has played pretty good the past two games but I would give Mason a chance soon to get back in. He deserves it as the team was playing so poorly in front of him. He's got to get his confidence going and build that trust with his defenders.

Agreed. If not tomorrow, I see Mason getting back in net on Tuesday against the team that drafted him.

IMO you ride the hot hand and maintain the line up until cracks start to show. Obviously down the line, assuming BuckBuck continues his great play, he will need a rest, but that may not be for several more games.

"My" plan of Helle coming in and killing it, taking over and owning the starters job is looking good! lol

Was listening to 1290 yesterday, and they were discussing the conspiracy.  I think it was Weibe that shut them down (although they kept on about it after) by stating:

1 Buff was walking with a limp, no way he goes to that level of deception to hide a benching.

2 A benched player doesn't get to miss practice, they go extra, especially when a bag skate is called.  If you are healthy, you don't skip a bag skate, and if you're being benched you do extra.

Pretty solid reasoning...

Buff is injured, day to day with a lower body soft tissue injury (Weibe also let it drop that it is a groin).  This can be short term, or very long term, needing surgery. 

The way Poolman is playing, not missing Buff at all... 

Here's a concept, Trouba is tied up for 2 years at $3mil.  Does it make sense right now to trade him?  Or do we squeeze this year out of him first?  Once Buff is healthy, that is...

That Buff contract is now looking like a massive mistake.

After 2 games ;)

I'm sure, when he gets healthy, Buff will be his normal self.  A risk/reward guy that needs his D partner/forwards to have his back now and then.

Just curious, the Buff/Lean that came to camp was supposed to be in great shape.  Yet he has looked awkward on the ice, and now this injury.  Did he overtrain in the offseason, and not pay attention to his game?
