Connor Hellebuyck’s Future with the Jets in Jeopardy: Will a Start-of-Season Holdout Shake Up Winnipeg?
Right now, I’m gonna say Frank. And the reason for that is, as much as Connor Hellebuyck wants to move on, making it abundantly clear by issuing a statement as things are beginning to ramp up here to try and turn up the heat on the Winnipeg Jets. The truth is, as a franchise icon player and the best goalie of his generation, that the Jets want significant value to deal off a piece like this from their team.
And Kevin Cheveldayoff is certainly patient. He’ll wait. And the problem with that for Connor Hellebuyck is that I just don’t see (a) that many chairs that are left available, and (b) as much as he’s such a tremendous goalie, I just don’t know which team has the assets to then trade for the goalie that has that spot available to then appease the Winnipeg Jets and make it happen.
