Connor Hellebuyck is still with the Winnipeg Jets, while Darren Dreger reports that a health concern involving a Buffalo Sabres center could have affected earlier trade discussions. The report links the Sabres-related issue to the timeline and consideration of potential goalie movement.
The outlets frame the situation as part of ongoing trade speculation rather than a confirmed deal. NDTV does not indicate that the Jets and Sabres have agreed on terms, but it suggests that health information can influence whether teams pursue, pause, or revise trade negotiations. In this account, the key element is the claimed impact of the Sabres center’s condition on prior talks connected to Hellebuyck.
