What happened: The three hypothetical offers range from four to five outgoing pieces, with draft capital included in every construction. The frameworks remain trade concepts rather than agreed terms.
Why it matters: Hellebuyck publicly requested a trade Aug. 27, putting five remaining seasons at an $8.5 million annual cap hit into play. The Oilers would have to weigh a major futures outlay against adding a three-time Vezina Trophy winner.
By the numbers: The three constructions contain 13 outgoing assets in total: five in the first concept and four apiece in the other two.
What to watch: Watch whether Edmonton surfaces in Hellebuyck’s market before training camp opens Sept. 16.
