Winnipeg Jets seek resolution after goalie Connor Hellebuyck suspended
Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff says the team has been trying to trade star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck since he requested a move. Hellebuyck was suspended Wednesday for not reporting to training camp. The Jets are still looking for a resolution that works for both sides. The absence of the three-time Vezina Trophy winner is a major issue for the team, which finished 35-35-12 last season.
Hellebuyck signed a seven-year contract extension in October 2023 but later confirmed he wanted to be traded. Cheveldayoff says the team is working to support Hellebuyck and find him a new hockey home.
