A bombshell rumor from the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast seems to imply Connor Hellebuyck has asked the Winnipeg Jets for a trade to the Florida Panthers. Is this truly the direction things are going, or were they speculating? Why might this one have some real weight to it? What could the return look like for Winnipeg? Will this start a chain reaction of moves around the team, or will Winnipeg try and slow play the retool/rebuild? What dominos might fall next, and which Jets players might stand to benefit the most?

I saw that rumor/article I think it was Murles from Spittin Chicklets. Who said he heard it already happened.
If it is Florida similar to Larkin 1 team limits what we can get when we can wait til July 1st 2027 and his NMC goes to 10team.
But I'd do it Florida won't have a 1st 2027/28 they have 3 2nds next 2 years.
A package of
9th overall+Samoskevich+2026 2nd+2027 3rd I'd be happy with.
If a deal is tentatively done I don't think NHL will allow teams to release it until StanleyCup is over and then leading up to the draft. It would help that draft party having 2 top 10 picks.
I believe whether it's by the draft or next year Hellebuyck already has his memo ready for his time with the Jets for fans.
They will keep it quiet til sometime after Stanley Cup leading up to draft
The reason for the 2nd and 3rd for me is they arnt adding a goalie. Which means we would need to acquire a Woll, Montembeault,Levi,Cossa or take a chance of UFA like Skinner,Brossoit,Comrie run a tandem.
Idk why Jets fans are so desperate keep guys when our time has passed. I'd love to move up to 4th but either way. At 8th we will get a Dman like Verheoff/Smits/Rudolph and 9th a center like Lawrence,Bjorck if not taken.
I saw they interviewed Carels,Verheoff,Lawrence,Belchetz,LinRudolph but is reported they skipped on some guys like Malhotra I feel they probably know some guys won't fall to them/have ideas. So that's why they chose not to interview some kids.
If my panthers get Connor I think the NHL would have a collective mental breakdown of epic proportions
