NHL analyst proposes trade of Connor Hellebuyck to Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers have surfaced as a potential destination for Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck in a new trade proposal. Analyst Jackson Scherger suggests the Oilers acquire the three-time Vezina Trophy winner in exchange for goaltender Devon Levi, forward Viljami Marjala, and two future draft picks. Hellebuyck officially requested a trade from the Jets on August 27 and holds a no-move clause that would require his approval for any transaction. While the Oilers recently acquired Levi, the proposal argues he could serve as a trade asset for a team looking to stabilize its goaltending. The Jets would also benefit from significant salary cap relief, moving off Hellebuyck’s current contract to accommodate younger players on the roster. No formal negotiations between the teams have been confirmed.
