Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets is at the center of trade talks as three teams, including the Florida Panthers, Buffalo Sabres, and Toronto Maple Leafs, pursue his services. Hellebuyck, a former Vezina winner and Team USA gold medalist, could be a key acquisition this offseason. The Panthers may need a goalie if they lose Sergei Bobrovsky, while the Sabres lack a clear No. 1 goalie. The Maple Leafs are also interested in Hellebuyck. The Jets may aim to finalize a deal prior to Friday's NHL Draft first round, contingent on Hellebuyck's approval of any trade.
