Devils’ Nico Hischier Breaks Silence on Connor Hellebuyck Addition
Hischier said the three-time Vezina Trophy winner should boost New Jersey’s playoff push after the Devils sent six assets to Winnipeg.
- On Friday, the Winnipeg Jets traded goaltender Connor Hellebuyck to the New Jersey Devils, ending months of conflict over the 33-year-old's demand to leave.
- Hellebuyck demanded a trade after last season and skipped training camp in September; the Jets enforced a three-week suspension, costing him nearly $1 million in salary.
- In exchange for Hellebuyck, Winnipeg acquired forwards Dawson Mercer, Alexander Command, and Nick Bjugstad, goaltender Nico Daws, and picks in the 2027 and 2029 drafts.
- General manager Sunny Mehta said Hellebuyck's excitement was "palpable," with the goalie telling him, "I'm ready, I'm packed. I'll get in my car right now." Devils coach Sheldon Keefe expects the move to boost team confidence.
- Hellebuyck, who helped the United States win Olympic gold this year, will return to Winnipeg on November 10 when New Jersey visits Canada Life Centre; the Devils hold a three-game winning streak.
