What happened: The New York Times (The Athletic) published a "Who says no?" mailbag evaluating potential trade returns for Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. The piece analyzes various fan-submitted deals as the franchise charts its course following a disappointing 2025-26 campaign.

Why it matters: Hellebuyck remains the team's most significant trade chip as they enter a critical offseason with five years and $42.5 million remaining on his contract. After falling from Presidents' Trophy winners to 26th in the standings, the Jets must decide whether to commit to their core or initiate a broader roster reset.

What to watch: The Jets are slated to pick seventh overall in the 2026 NHL Draft on June 26, where a decision on Hellebuyck’s future is expected to set the tone for the summer.
