Connor Hellebuyck subject of trade talks between Devils and Jets

Connor Hellebuyck is reportedly at the center of trade negotiations between the New Jersey Devils and Winnipeg Jets on October 23, 2026. Sportsnet reports that Winnipeg is working on a deal that would send the goaltender to New Jersey.

According to Daily Faceoff, the two clubs are nearing an agreement on this trade involving Hellebuyck. The outlet notes that these reports surface on the same day his suspension from the Jets was scheduled to conclude.

The Hockey Writers characterizes the ongoing discussions as a potential blockbuster move involving Hellebuyck, whom the outlet refers to as a star goaltender. The same report indicates that such a trade could bring an end to several months of uncertainty surrounding his future with Winnipeg.

For now, the situation remains at the stage of talks reported by Sportsnet, Daily Faceoff, and The Hockey Writers, with no official confirmation from either the New Jersey Devils or the Winnipeg Jets that a trade has been finalized or what its terms might be.
