The LA Kings may go the cheaper route than Connor Hellebuyck in net

Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck may be a nice fit with the Los Angeles Kings, they’ll likely go with a cheaper partner for Pheonix Copley. If Adin Hill re-signs with the Vegas Golden Knights, pending UFA Laurent Brossoit could be one option.

Hellebuyck could be looking for an extension in Andrei Vasilevskiy‘s $9.5 million range. One executive noted last week that there isn’t much sense of spending a lot on goaltenders given how Hill backstopped the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup.
