Connor Hellebuyck has requested a trade — and this could have major implications across the NHL, including for the Montreal Canadiens.
On today’s Starr & D’Amico Show, we break down the fallout from Hellebuyck’s trade request and what it says about the growing power NHL players have in determining where — and when — they want to play.
But there’s a huge question: how many teams can realistically trade for Connor Hellebuyck?
We discuss:
🏒 Which NHL teams actually make sense for Hellebuyck
💰 What Winnipeg could demand in a blockbuster trade
🔥 How Hellebuyck’s contract impacts the market
👀 Whether player empowerment is changing the NHL
🥅 What a Hellebuyck trade does to the goalie market
🔵⚪🔴 And most importantly — what does all of this mean for Canadiens goalie Sam Montembeault?
Could teams that miss out on Hellebuyck turn their attention to Montreal? And could this suddenly change the value of Montembeault on the NHL trade market?
