Connor Hellebuyck trade: Did Olympic fallout involving his wife push him out?

The trade request by Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has re-emerged as a topic of conversation following the backlash his wife Andrea received after Team USA’s Olympic victory and White House visit.

The controversy adds further personal pressure on the player at an already difficult time, although Hellebuyck has not stated the treatment of his family as the sole reason for his decision.
