Story summary

On Wednesday night, the Winnipeg Jets suspended star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck after he failed to report for training camp, which began on Wednesday for medicals and physicals with the first on-ice practice scheduled for Thursday. This suspension follows Hellebuyck's public trade request via his agent Ray Petkau on August 27th, where he mentioned privately requesting a trade several months ago but gave the organization time to address it quietly and respectfully. Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff will discuss this situation during a media conference at 10:30 am CT Thursday morning. Hellebuyck, signed to a seven-year contract worth $8.5 million annually with five years remaining, has been a key player for the team since 2012 when they took a chance on him while he was playing in Odessa, Texas. If his suspension lasts until the regular season starts, it could impact both his salary and how his contract is treated under the NHL's salary cap rules.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
