Canadian Teams' Franchise Goaltender Informs The Organization That He Won't Be Back
Former Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck has delivered a significant blow to the Winnipeg Jets, informing them that he won't sign a contract extension.
This news arrives amidst existing uncertainty within the team's forward group. Center Pierre-Luc Dubois has already declared his refusal to sign this summer, opting for free agency next year.
Additionally, Mark Scheifele's contract is expiring, and he seems unlikely to re-sign.
Hellebuyck, a highly sought-after goalie, could fetch numerous offers if the Jets decide to trade him.
At 30 years old, he remains a game-changer for a team with Stanley Cup aspirations. With this development, it seems inevitable that the Jets will announce a full-fledged rebuild.
