Hellebuyck Goes Public W/ Trade Request + Jason Aponte (49ers) - August 27th, 2026 - Hour 1

The biggest story of the day comes out of Winnipeg, as Jets star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has made his trade request public. Hellebuyck says he wants a fresh start, but what does Winnipeg do from here? What kind of return can the Jets get for a three-time Vezina winner? Can Hellebuyck hand-pick his next destination, or does Winnipeg simply take the best offer on the table? Salas and Brendan Erick break down one of the biggest stories of the NHL offseason. Matthew Iwanyk joins the show with a couple of great topics as he fills in on the Red Light District! Then Hernan heads to San Francisco to preview the 49ers with Jason Aponte of Niners Nation. They dive into whether George Kittle should play in Week 1, the latest on Mike Evans and his injury situation, why the 49ers media has such a love-hate relationship with Brock Purdy, and the handful of rookies making some serious noise in San Francisco this preseason.
