Connor Hellebuyck may have expected his trade request to move quickly. With his suspension set to end Friday, Oct. 23, he may finally get what he wants, even if the situation has become more complicated than he probably anticipated.
Connor Hellebuyck's disciplinary suspension by the Winnipeg Jets is scheduled to end on Friday, October 23, intensifying speculation around a potential trade. According to reports from Elliotte Friedman and ESPN's Emily Kaplan, neither Hellebuyck nor the Jets desire a reunion, but there is no guarantee a deal is finalized before the deadline. If a trade is not completed, Winnipeg is expected to pay Hellebuyck while instructing him to stay away from the team.
Potential landing spots reportedly include the Buffalo Sabres and Utah, while the New York Rangers could factor into a multi-team goalie shuffle. Scouts have reportedly expressed concerns regarding Hellebuyck's form, though the Jets are under less immediate pressure to force a permanent move due to the presence of Stuart Skinner and Clay Stevenson.
