Sabres receive update on Connor Hellebuyck trade from Jets
Summary

The Buffalo Sabres missed an opportunity to trade for Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck before the NHL Draft. The Jets were initially seeking a high return, including the No. 4 overall pick. Former Sabres goalie Martin Biron suggested that there is still a chance for Hellebuyck to join Buffalo before the upcoming season, despite pending negotiations. Hellebuyck's willingness to waive his no-trade clause is significant for any potential deal.
