What happened: Darren Dreger said Connor Hellebuyck is not expected to report when Winnipeg Jets training camp opens this week. He added that trade interest has been minimal and that nothing on the market currently matches Winnipeg's idea of fair value.

Why it matters: That leaves one of the NHL's biggest offseason standoffs unresolved as the Jets move from trade talk into on-ice camp work ahead of 2025-26. Wire Report previously noted the same weak market around Hellebuyck, and Dreger's latest update suggests the impasse is carrying into camp.

What to watch: The next marker is whether Hellebuyck appears later in the week as team events continue. Any shift in trade activity before camp fully ramps up would clarify whether Winnipeg can find a deal before the standoff deepens.
