A Winnipeg Jets fan has launched a website that tracks how much money goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has allegedly lost since he is absent from the lineup at the start of the season. The site presents the amount as an ongoing figure, updating over time as the holdout continues.
Outlets describe the project as “funny” and “informative,” framing it as fan-made and focused on estimated forfeited salary rather than official team reporting. Yahoo Sports and Global News both characterize the website as tracking Hellebuyck’s forfeited earnings tied to his suspension/absence, while NDTV emphasizes that the site—branded as Hellebucks.com—tracks the estimated lost salary during the team’s early-season run. NDTV notes the Jets begin the season with a 3-0-1 record, providing context for the fan’s comparison between Hellebuyck’s absence and the team’s results.
All accounts agree the site is created by a fan and centers on estimating and displaying Hellebuyck’s lost salary during his time away from games.
