Connor Hellebuyck finally has a new home after the Winnipeg Jets granted the
three-time Vezina Trophy winning goaltender's trade request in a deal that sent
him to the New Jersey Devils on Friday.
The Devils sent center Dawson Mercer, goalie Nico Daws, prospect Alexander
Command, forward Nick Bjugstad, a 2029 second-round pick and a 2027
seventh-rounder to Winnipeg for Hellebuyck.
The long-awaited trade ends months of speculation, a failed bid to move the
U.S. Olympic gold medal-winner and 2024-25 NHL MVP in June, and the Jets'
suspension of Hellebuyck for failing to report to training camp in a standoff
that required the involvement of the league and the Players' Association.
