Connor Hellebuyck, the Winnipeg Jets' All-Star goaltender, is unlikely to report to training camp this week, according to multiple NHL insiders. Hellebuyck had previously requested a trade from the Jets’ GM Kevin Cheveldayoff shortly after the end of last season, which saw the team miss the playoffs. With training camp set to open in less than 48 hours, reports indicate that Hellebuyck’s absence would compel the Jets to respond quickly. Hellebuyck has expressed that he believes a change is necessary for his future and that moving on is the best path forward for him and his family.
