Sportsnet (32 Thoughts) | Friedman discusses revised Hurricanes offer for Connor Hellebuyck

Elliotte Friedman reported on Sportsnet's 32 Thoughts that the Carolina Hurricanes have submitted a revised trade offer to the Winnipeg Jets for goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. According to co-host Kyle Bukauskas, unsigned restricted free agent defenceman Alexander Nikishin is no longer part of Carolina's proposed package. Friedman suggested that if the new package had fully satisfied the Jets, a deal would likely already be finalized.

Friedman also noted that the Buffalo Sabres and Utah remain potential destinations for a permanent trade involving Hellebuyck. He observed that while other teams may hope Winnipeg feels pressured into a transaction, Carolina's front office typically moves decisively once committed to executing a deal.
