Hellebuyck deal appears headed toward resolution with three teams in mix

Five years remain on his contract.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Sep 101 min read

What happened: Connor Hellebuyck has requested a trade, and an NHL insider says Buffalo, Carolina and Utah remain possible destinations. The Devils’ interest is less certain, while earlier Florida discussions have lost key trade assets.

Why it matters: The 33-year-old goaltender’s situation is approaching a decision point before training camps open. Winnipeg is seeking a hockey trade that keeps the club competitive, increasing pressure on the return.

By the numbers: Hellebuyck has played 625 games over 11 seasons and won the Vezina and Hart trophies. His contract carries five remaining years.

What to watch: Watch for movement before training camps begin next week, particularly involving Buffalo, Carolina or Utah.
