Hellebuyck goes public with trade request, Jets face goaltending shift

Jets star goalie Connor Hellebuyck publicly confirmed a months-old trade request ahead of training camp, saying he wants a change and that he’d tried to keep the matter private. Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff said Winnipeg has listened and respects him, but there’s no update yet. The club had signaled willingness to explore options and recently added Stuart Skinner to backstop the team, while Hellebuyck’s five-year extension remains with five years left. The public request could accelerate a goaltending market and force a Jets decision as teams weigh a potential deal.

Greaves Secures Three-Year, $15 Million Extension With Columbus

Goaltender Jet Greaves signed a three-year, $15 million contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets, avoiding arbitration and cementing him as the club’s starter after a breakout season in which he posted a 26-19-9 record in 55 games with a .908 save percentage and 2.60 goals-against average; the deal represents a big jump from last year’s $825,000 salary and was described by GM Don Waddell as securing a core piece for the franchise.

The Minnesota Wild used the 2026 Upper Deck NHL Draft in Buffalo to add three prospects: Adam Andersson (No. 83, 3rd round), a 6'4", 218-pound Swedish center who had 17 points in 30 U20 games with Leksands and helped Sweden win the U18 gold; Kayden Lemire (No. 112, 4th), a 6'4", 187-pound Canadian forward who had 29 points in 68 WHL games with the Prince George Cougars; and Filip Ruzicka (No. 137, 5th), a 6'8", 229-pound Czech goaltender who went 26-14-1 with a 3.19 GAA and .906 SV% in 42 WHL games with Brandon, plus strong playoff numbers. All three were acquired via trades: Andersson from the LA Kings (for picks 89 and 153), Lemire from Columbus (for picks 121 and 185).
