New Jersey Devils: 3 Insane Trade Packages For Connor Hellebuyck

Trade Two

The New Jersey Devils have to send good young players for Connor Hellebuyck.

The New Jersey Devils would love to keep developing Akira Schmid, but if it means acquiring someone like Connor Hellebuyck, they should do it with no problem. The Jets want to have a future in net if they move Hellebuyck. If they are trading their top goalie, this would be a great way for both sides to get what they need. Schmid is going to have a great NHL career, but the Devils need someone elite that can also handle the playoffs right now.

Chase Stillman was somewhat of a reach when the New Jersey Devils drafted him late in the first round of the 2021 NHL Draft. However, he is a good player that would be worth adding to a team like the Jets.

Lenni Hameenaho was taken by the New Jersey Devils in the second-round pick of the 2023 NHL Draft this past June. He was their top selection because they traded their first-round pick to the San Jose Sharks in the Timo Meier deal.

This is a deal that is a bit risky for the Winnipeg Jets, but the upside is outstanding. Both teams could be getting just what they need here. The hope with this deal is an extension would be in place if the Devils are losing Schmid.
