What happened: TSN's Darren Dreger said trade talks around Connor Hellebuyck have not yet produced an acceptable return. Dreger added he does not expect the three-time Vezina winner to waive his no-trade clause for a move that keeps him in Canada.

Why it matters: That leaves the Jets with less flexibility on both destination and price as the offseason decision reaches camp week. The Jets open training camp Sept. 16, and Hellebuyck has five years left on his contract, raising the cost of any deal that gets done.

By the numbers: Hellebuyck is a three-time Vezina winner, and five years remain on his contract.

What to watch: Watch whether talks accelerate before camp opens and whether a non-Canadian suitor can improve the return enough to move negotiations forward.
