Connor Hellebuyck Traded To New Jersey Devils In Five-Team Blockbuster

Following a trade request and suspension, Connor Hellebuyck was acquired by the New Jersey Devils in a five-team blockbuster deal. The Winnipeg Jets received forward Dawson Mercer, 18-year-old center Alexander Command, injured veteran Nick Bjugstad, goaltender Nico Daws, and two draft picks. Insider reports revealed the Florida Panthers also pursued Hellebuyck but refused to include Anton Lundell, while a previously rumored Buffalo Sabres offer was ultimately surpassed by New Jersey's package.
