Avalanche Probe Hellebuyck Trade | Colorado Avalanche News

Rumors swirl that the Colorado Avalanche may have quietly explored trading for Winnipeg Jets superstar goalie Connor Hellebuyck — a move that would shake up their already formidable netminding duo. While no official talks are confirmed, insider Elliotte Friedman hints at interest from a few teams, including Colorado. The financial hurdle is steep: Hellebuyck’s $8.5M cap hit would strain Colorado’s tight salary cap, making a deal unlikely without a major return — and they’re low on high-value assets to offer. Meanwhile, the Jets’ recent signing of Stuart Skinner adds depth but doesn’t replace Hellebuyck’s elite status. If anything, this could signal the Avalanche are testing the market — or just watching the chess game unfold. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
