Seems Hellebuyck's camp is talking with Fitz about the possibility of coming to NJ. Not sure we'd want to risk the future with the kind of cap hit he'd demand. I think we still have a solid future with VV and Schmid. Thoughts?

I'm interested to see how this plays out but I won't be bummed if we let this opportunity pass
