One of the first names that comes to mind is Connor Hellebuyck. The 30-year-old goaltender is very solid and is always able to give his team a chance to win a game. For these reasons, Hellebuyck expects to receive a very handsome offer next summer, as he will be an unrestricted free agent. He has already mentioned that he did not want to sign with the Jets, and many informants were convinced that he would be traded this summer. A change of plans, as he could very well start the season in Winnipeg after all. The team that acquires him will have to pay the Jets a lot of money, in addition to offering him a very lucrative contract. These details greatly slow down the process. Imagine walking into a locker room and dressing next to a player who no longer wants to play for your team. The atmosphere promises to be special once again in Winnipeg. <blockquote class=twitter-tweet><p lang=en dir=ltr>Friedman on NHL Network: I've had some people tell me that they wouldn't be surprised if Hellebuyck starts the year in Winnipeg- NHL Watcher (@NHL_Watcher) <a href=https://twitter.com/NHL_Watcher/status/1681863953960280066?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>July 20, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js charset=utf-8>
