NHL Insider Reveals Connor Hellebuyck’s Most Likely Landing Spot

Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck has been involved in NHL trade rumors since the end of the regular season. Hellebuyck had one of his worst seasons behind a struggling Jets organization, and trade talks picked up during the 2026 NHL Draft. So, what is Hellebuyck's most likely landing spot?

The "most likely scenario" is Winnipeg revisiting the Buffalo Sabres for a potential Hellebuyck trade, as reported by Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos. Winnipeg and Buffalo were talking about a potential trade on the first night of the 2026 NHL Draft, and the latter is still working hard to acquire him.
