Bruins could pursue Red Wings' Dylan Larkin or Simon Edvinsson, NBC Sports Boston suggests.

Larkin requested a trade earlier this year and, after playing in 10 of Detroit's first 16 games, is sitting out until a move happens. The Bruins are reportedly not on his 10-team trade list at this time. Edvinsson is a restricted free agent without a contract and must sign by Dec. 1 to play this season, and Boston's top two needs are a No. 1 center and a top-four defenseman.

Connor Hellebuyck says family circumstances were among the reasons he requested a trade from the Jets.

In a letter to Jets fans posted on Instagram, Hellebuyck said 'very challenging circumstances' involving his family factored in, but he declined to share details. He was traded Oct. 23 to the New Jersey Devils for Dawson Mercer, Alexander Command, Nick Bjugstad, Nico Daws and two draft picks. The Jets had suspended him for failing to report to training camp after he publicly demanded a move.
