Jets’ Connor Hellebuyck Trade to Sharks News Would Help Macklin Celebrini

The Winnipeg Jets and San Jose Sharks have discussed a potential trade for goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. With the NHL regular season approaching, San Jose has emerged as an interested suitor for the three-time Vezina Trophy winner alongside a roster featuring young center Macklin Celebrini.

Any potential deal faces obstacles, as Hellebuyck holds a no-trade clause and his contract currently presents salary cap challenges for San Jose. The Sharks also already feature young goaltender Yaroslav Askarov after previously adding Darnell Nurse, Jacob Trouba, and Mason Marchment during the offseason.
