The New Jersey Devils are evaluating the availability of Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck and Minnesota Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes. Hellebuyck has formally requested a trade, while Quinn Hughes remains unsigned beyond the current season. New Jersey has long targeted both players to address ongoing roster needs. Adding Hellebuyck would provide the team with a proven number one goaltender to stabilize the position. Meanwhile, acquiring Quinn Hughes would reunite him with brothers Jack and Luke Hughes on the same roster. While team management currently monitors these situations, significant trade hurdles remain regarding asking prices and contractual status for both targets. No official moves have been confirmed.
