NHL Rumour Roundup: All eyes on Jets' Hellebuyck?

Brady Tkachuk's trade from Ottawa to Florida to join his brother Matthew on the Panthers has sparked speculation about whether other Team USA Olympians might relocate from Canadian markets to contending clubs south of the border. Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, a 33-year-old who won back-to-back Jennings and Vezina Trophies in 2023-24 and 2024-25, along with the Hart Trophy in 2024-25 and an Olympic gold medal in February, has become the focus of trade speculation after expressing dissatisfaction with the Jets' playoff miss this season. According to reports, potential suitors include Florida, Vegas, Carolina, Utah, Los Angeles, San Jose, Detroit, and Buffalo, though Hellebuyck holds a full no-move clause on his seven-year contract signed in 2023 and is owed five more seasons at $8.5 million AAV.
