UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Hellebuyck Demands Trade, Makar and Hughes Seek New Deals

from Locked On NHL - Daily Podcast On The National Hockey League · host Locked On Podcast Network

Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck has now made it public that he wants to be traded. Where does this leave the team going forward, who has more leverage and where could Hellebuyck end up? We break down the situation and what it means for the Jets and Hellebuyck. Plus two of the best defensemen in the NHL are up for contract extensions but who will sign first, Quinn Hughes and Cale Makar? And, what is an elite defenseman worth in this era of rising salaries and a rising salary cap. And the NHL released its national TV schedule in the United States. Who got more games and who got less and is this the wisest way to schedule these games and market the league and its stars? Are Canadian-based teams treated unfairly?
