Winnipeg Jets trade Connor Hellebuyck to Devils: TSN
The franchise receives four players and two draft picks for the three-time Vezina Trophy winner with a career .916 save percentage, team officials reported.
- On Thursday, the Winnipeg Jets traded goaltender Connor Hellebuyck to the New Jersey Devils, ending a standoff that overshadowed the start of the Jets' season.
- Hellebuyck requested a trade several months ago, prompting the Jets to suspend him for failing to report to training camp, a standoff requiring league and Players' Association involvement.
- The Jets acquired forwards Dawson Mercer and Nick Bjugstad, goaltender Nico Daws, prospect Alexander Command, and draft picks in 2027 and 2029 for the 33-year-old Hellebuyck.
- Joining Jack Hughes with the Devils, Hellebuyck positions New Jersey as a Stanley Cup contender, allowing Jake Allen to return to his usual backup role.
- Hellebuyck becomes the latest high-profile American to leave Canada, following Ottawa captain Brady Tkachuk and Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes to the United States.
