Let’s get something straight

The statement is kinda odd. The timing as well, very odd. I’m fully with that. Feels like a misfire

But let’s not act like there isn’t logic behind resting helle against Winnipeg to set him up to play both games against Washington. I know as sports fans we want to see that matchup for the story but.. that’s the decision they went with and I’m fine with it

Best thing that can happen is the Devils stand firm on the decision, beat Winnipeg and get on with life

Now if they lose.. we will hear all about the decision once again after the game

Honestly my take on the statement

I feel like the team clearly was leaning to just not started Helle and put him against his former team, thinking his performance would be impacted by the whole situation.

But Helle himself clearly wants to play. So I think they are trying to protect him and give him his props saying hey he wanted to play it’s our decision, not on him. That’s kinda the point of the statement to me

And rather than let all this come out on Tuesday they are attempting to get ahead saying something now.

But honestly, this feels a little miscalculated and Sunny overthinking to me. The statement just comes off as odd to me. Did we need an extra statement like that? Am I overreacting and it means nothing? Couldn’t forgotten in a week, who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh boy

This will be a story for sure…
