Connor Hellebuyck draws interest from Panthers, Sabres, Maple Leafs

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.
