Summary
Kevin Cheveldayoff said Winnipeg will hear offers for Connor Hellebuyck, confirming the three-time Vezina winner is at least available after an unusually active NHL offseason.
Hellebuyck is signed through 2031 with an $8.5 million cap hit, a price that would force any suitor to pay heavily for a proven No. 1 goaltender.
Winnipeg's stance follows a sharp downturn: the Jets missed the playoffs one season after winning the Presidents' Trophy, and Hellebuyck publicly warned that team complacency had to change.
Friday's draft-night trade activity has fueled speculation that cap-tight contenders such as Vegas or Florida could be clearing space to pursue him.
