In a move that has sent shockwaves through the NHL, the Winnipeg Jets have made a significant signing that could have far-reaching implications for their goaltending situation. On Wednesday, the team inked free agent goaltender Stuart Skinner to a two-year contract worth $3.75 million average annual value against the salary cap. While the signing of Skinner may suggest that the Jets are bolstering their depth in goal, it's also sparked speculation that star starter Connor Hellebuyck could be on the trade block. With Hellebuyck's massive contract set to expire in 2025, the Jets may be looking to shed his salary and bring in some much-needed cap space.
