Summary
When the Winnipeg Jets traded Connor Hellebuyck to the New Jersey Devils 17 days ago, everyone circled November 10 on the calendar, the date of the three-time Vezina winners first trip back to Winnipeg to face his former team. But, Devils GM Sunny Mehta had other plans, pulling the plug on Hellebuycks start on Tuesday, citing win probability as the reason in a public statement Sunday night. Today, Laz, Jesse, and Shayna break down why it was the wrong move for the star netminder, the Devils organization, and anyone who wants to be entertained while watching a hockey game. Before that, the crew discusses the disastrous Chicago Blackhawks who are sticking with head coach Jeff Blashill despite a 4-13-1 start, the dangers of a teardown rebuild, and which currently rebuilding teams are actually doing it right. Plus, our weekly check of the Connor McData and whether No. 97 should be in the Selke mix at the end of the season.Hosts: Mark Lazerus and Jesse GrangerWith: Shayna GoldmanExecutive Producer: Chris FlanneryProducer: Chris FlanneryWatch full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theathletichockeyshowSubscribe to The Athletic: https://theathletic.com/hockeyshow Hosted on Acast.
