Buffalo Sabres are still CONNOR HELLEBUYCK FAVORITES despite not getting deal done at the NHL Draft
Description
The Buffalo Sabres didn't get a deal done for Winnipeg Jets star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck at the NHL Draft, but by most accounts they came very close. Hellebuyck was not traded anywhere else, there are no rumors connecting him to any other destination, and Elliotte Freidman reports he would waive his no-trade clause for Buffalo. So, the Sabres should still be considered the favorites to land the best goalie in the world. The reported trade demands from Winnipeg included the 4th pick, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, Jack Quinn, and another prospect. If this is true, what is a reasonable package that Jarmo Kekäläinen could put together to get this deal done? It's hard to see the deal not include either Konsta Helenius or Noah Östlund.
Plus, why the Sabres may be looking to move on from UPL, whether it's for Hellebuyck or someone else. Rumors about Edmonton poking around a Devon Levi trade. And is there room for Peyton Krebs in the Sabres cap picture after signing Beck Malenstyn to a six-year extension?
