The Buffalo Sabres will shop for a goaltender in the coming weeks, and with a rebuild in Winnipeg gaining steam, the Hellebuyck odds are increasing.
It seems to be inevitable that a rebuild will take place in Winnipeg, with players like Pierre-Luc Dubois and Mark Scheifele potentially joining the trading block. Dubois will be a restricted free agent this summer, while Scheifele and Hellebuyck will be unrestricted free agents next season.
Jim Parsons of The Hockey Writers indicated that the Winnipeg Jets may want to move all three players to get something out of them, and that something will likely come in the form of draft picks and high-end prospects.
