Winnipeg Jets Summary

Winnipeg Jets' offseason is heating up as discussions around star goalie Connor Hellebuyck intensify. TSN's Darren Dreger reported that the Jets are open to trading Hellebuyck, which could signify a major shift for the franchise that has relied on him as an elite goaltender for years.

Teams have been calling about Hellebuyck, and speculation is mounting about whether he will remain with the Jets long-term or if a trade could happen soon, especially with the NHL Draft approaching. Additionally, the Jets are in need of a second and fourth line center, and negotiations with restricted free agent Cole Perfetti are ongoing but not yet fruitful.

Fans are also buzzing about the upcoming rookie class, with anticipation building as they prepare for the 2026-27 preseason schedule that includes four exhibition games, down from the previous six. The Jets will face the Oilers and Avalanche in their preseason matches, setting the stage for what could be a pivotal season in the team's history, especially if significant roster changes occur.
