Love this
Martin Brodeur when asked by @mike_p_johnson on NHL Network on his involvement in the Devils trading for Connor Hellebuyck:
"It’s well documented with Sunny and the goaltending and how they value it, so I really had to push hard. Leo Luongo really helped me out with that one, too.
It’s something that we wanted. It’s been a while. We tried with Jacob Markstrom, and obviously it didn’t work out. We had to move him to Florida.
But this opportunity happens, and it’s one of those things. The window of winning, our guys are there.
You look at Nico Hischier, Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, Timo Meier...
It was time for us to make a move like that. Sunny pulled it off, and it’s awesome." #NJDevils
Sunny creating jobs!
Connor Hellebucyk has been reinstated from suspension. The #NJDevils now have him at an $8.1M cap hit for this season after his cap hit adjustment for missing training camp.
They have $103K projected cap space.

So this is a CBA thing, no additional cap space coming. That’s ok.

By missing training camp without permission, Hellebuyck's Cap Hit is reduced to $8.1M this season.
The #NJDevils currently have $8.2M Current Cap Space available, so when his suspension is lifted, they will have sufficient space without requiring a roster move.

3rd line looks better. Brown drives play better than Mercer
4th has been best all year
Projected #NJDevils lineup after acquiring Connor Hellebuyck.

Per @PuckPedia, Helly isn't counting on the cap yet. So my guess is they keep the # off the roster for now, if they can, for as long as possible, to accrue cap space.
He needs time to train, get back up to game speed, probably a conditioning stint

Seems fitting to bump this #njdevils
#hellybuyck
Stay with me here. #njdevils can add ALL of Larkin, Helly & Quinn this year.
No way for any retention on L&H but possible on Q
25.05 for all 3 or 21.125 w Q @ 50%
Dougie, Dillon, Noes, Buj, Mercer = 21.5. 3.55 remaining
Forget it would gut picks and farm
THE MATH FITS
