What happened: Connor Hellebuyck said his position remains unchanged and called moving on the best path for his family. He thanked fans and expressed hope for a resolution soon.

Why it matters: Five years remain on Hellebuyck's contract at an $8.5 million annual cap hit, complicating any deal. A move would end his 11-season tenure with the organization.

By the numbers: Hellebuyck went 23-23-11 with a 2.86 goals-against average and .895 save percentage in 2025-26.

What to watch: Trade discussions now move toward training camp and the Sept. 19 preseason opener.
