**WINNIPEG –** Connor Hellebuyck said his family's safety and uncertainly about his career played a part in requesting a trade from the Winnipeg Jets at the end of last season.But the New Jersey Devils goalie would not point to one thing that made him decide to ask out.
"There's no one singular moment that wasn't important in all of this decision-making and this is over a span of time," Hellebuyck said in his return to Canada Life Centre on Tuesday.
"I will say with all the uncertainty I was experiencing, there was some moments and some things that happened to my family that for me crossed the line.
And as a husband and a father, I felt made that decision very certain, that I needed to be a good husband and a good father and do what's best for my family and my career." Hellebuyck, who was traded by the Jets to the Devils on Oct.
23, was addressing the Winnipeg media for the first time since his exit interview April 17, after the Jets failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
