Seravalli Links Connor Hellebuyck to a Western Conference Rival
Rumors are swirling in the off-season trade market, with Connor Hellebuyck's name being one of the most mentioned.
Now, inside sources suggest that a clear frontrunner has emerged to acquire him.
Los Angeles Kings, an organization in a unique situation, find themselves in the spotlight. They're on the cusp of a new era led by their young talents, even as they see the reign of stalwarts like Anze Kopitar and Drew Doughty coming to a close.
This particular situation sets them up as an obvious buyer in the off-season, and bringing on a Vezina Trophy winner like Hellebuyck would considerably enhance their competitive standing.
This perspective is shared by Frank Seravalli, who opined:
Frank Seravalli says on Kyper and Bourne that Hellebuyck to LA makes the most sense bc their window is opening and you can get the most out of Kopitar's final year of his current contract. #gokingsgo

Given this, and with Pierre Luc-Dubois, Hellebuyck's teammate, also linked with the Kings, it appears that the LA Kings and Winnipeg may frequently feature in trade discussions this summer.
