Hellebuyck, the 2020 Vezina Trophy winner, has been one of the more consistent players in the NHL for nearly a decade and has helped the Jets reach the playoffs five times. He showed he was still a top player during the 2022-23 season when he recorded 37 wins, a 2.49 goals-against average (GAA) and a .920 save percentage and helped Winnipeg to the Stanley Cup playoffs, where it fell to the Vegas Golden Knights. Now he could be on the move and look to help a new franchise capture a Stanley Cup.
