Speculation is that the Buffalo Sabres and Carolina Hurricanes are the two frontrunners. A deal was reportedly almost done with the Sabres, and Hellebuyck has been open to the idea of going there. He would waive his no-trade if the two teams could finalize a return.
The New Jersey Devils and Edmonton Oilers are also in the market for a goaltender and would gladly pay a steep price if Hellebuyck were open to joining either franchise.
