Reporter Reveals why Connor Hellebuyck hasn't been traded
The Winnipeg Jets are seemingly headed towards some type of rebuild, which raises the question for many as to why veterans Mark Scheiefele and Connor Hellebuyck remain on the roster.
Veterans on the move
It's not yet been made clear why Scheifele hasn't been moved, but recently, a Winnipeg Jets writer Sean Reynolds revealed why the star goaltender remains a Jet.
Unsurprisingly, he's drawing plenty of attention, but any team that has seemingly engaged in talks with the Jets are yet to agree with their trade demands at this point.
Hellebuyck a Devil
However, if the Devils, led by Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt and their young core can land a star goaltender, they may have a great chance at emerging in the Eastern Conference, despite hefty competition.
Last season, Hellebuyck went 37-25-2 with a .920 save percentage and a 2.49 GAA, and at 30-years of age, he's still got plenty to give while having the experience needed for a deep playoff run, so whoever lands him this summer or at the trade deadline will immediately become much better for it.
