With Connor Hellebuyck publicly requesting a trade from the Winnipeg Jets, Montreal Canadiens analyst Tony Marinaro suggests that the Canadiens should consider acquiring Mark Scheifele if Hellebuyck is traded. The Jets, who missed the playoffs last season, may undergo a significant roster overhaul, with Hellebuyck's departure potentially signaling a rebuild. Marinaro views Scheifele as a strong addition for Montreal's young core, but Winnipeg may hesitate to trade him due to the implications for their roster. Pierre McGuire expressed that while a rebuild is likely, trading Scheifele would be a substantial organizational shift.
