Look who came crawling back
You wanted out. Now someone misses his mommymoney
We drafted Connor Hellebuyck. We made the Conference Finals together. We caught some bass together. We even had his back when we turned into a colander in the playoffs against Colorado. After everything, he wanted out and didn't report to training camp, so we suspended his ass.
Then, shortly before opening night, he told the team he intended to come back, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
His suspension is scheduled to end Friday, Oct. 23. Adam Lowry says “they need to talk.” Pagnotta suggests that the rest of the team “may not want him to come back.” Can't imagine why.
So we built a clock. It started the day the Jets opened without him, and it runs until he's back in the crease. Or isn't.
Welcome back. Your chair's in the corner.
His suspension is up Friday. That doesn't mean he plays. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman floated the Jets simply paying him to stay home, and plenty of people think they should just bench him.
So here's the deal, Connor: you're back. You're on the trip. You get a nice hotel room with a comfy chair in the corner, a great view, and one job. Watch.

Meanwhile, In Stu we trust.
The Jets signed Stuart Skinner to a two-year deal on July 1. He needed a fresh start, so did we. Plus, he has a top tier duster.

Time since he cucked out
since Connor Hellebuyck asked the Jets to take him back. His suspension is set to end Friday.
Counting from Aug. 27, 2026, the day he went public with his trade request (NHL.com). He says he asked privately "several months" before that, so this is a low estimate. Previous record: 0.
