Rochester, NY, October 24, 2026 —
Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has been traded to the New Jersey Devils and expressed happiness about joining the team after what was described as a long wait. The available information does not specify when the trade took place or provide details about its terms.
Hellebuyck’s statement was summarized as an expression of happiness, but no verbatim quotation was provided. The information also does not identify which team traded him, whether other players or assets were involved, or what prompted the move.
The description of a “long wait” is not accompanied by a timeline or an explanation of what Hellebuyck was waiting for. No additional details were provided about the goaltender’s role with New Jersey, the team’s plans, or when he is expected to join the club.
The reported development is therefore limited to the trade and Hellebuyck’s positive reaction to joining the Devils. Further specifics—including the date, trade terms and any comments from the team—were not included in the information provided.
