Connor Hellebuyck’s future with the Winnipeg Jets is still up in the air, even as trade buzz has cooled. The Jets remain firm in wanting a top-tier center in return, a tough ask this late in the offseason. While teams like Buffalo showed serious interest — even offering draft picks and prospects — they couldn’t meet Winnipeg’s demands. The Jets’ recent moves, including letting go of their backup goalie and signing a new one, signal they’re preparing for life without Hellebuyck — especially since all three goalies share the same agent. Despite missing the playoffs last year, Hellebuyck remains elite, having helped Team USA win Olympic gold. The NHL is watching closely as Winnipeg holds firm, waiting to see if they’ll budge on their high bar.
