Big fan of Connor Hellebuyck, love the way he's been playing lately, and I believe that makes Steve Mason expandable. Here's what I think since Arizona is going through tough times in goal.

Winnipeg acquires: 3rd round pick 2018, 6th round pick 2019.

Arizona acquires: Steve Mason (25% retained)

Why?
Arizona has a goaltender who will compete with Raanta for the starting role and Winnipeg gets an early 3rd round pick (basically a 2nd) and a 6th rounder in the following draft. Winnipeg letting go of Mason should give Comrie a chance to settle in the backup role and Hellebuyck a chance to really be the #1 goalie.

Thoughts?

I wouldn't do it as a Jets fan. We want to keep Comrie in the AHL playing more minutes as long as we can. There's just no real reason to do this when the team is playing well.

Thehabsguy, maybe a good destination for hutchinson tho? Winnipegs 3rd string atm, keep comrie developing on stand by in the a. just my view.

They signed mason to a two year deal because when it runs out Comrie will no longer be waiver exempt that's when he'll get a chance unless he plays absolutely spectacularly in his recent call up.
