Big news has come out of Winnipeg that has changed the course of their organization for years to come.
Pair Of Stars Sign Extensions In Winnipeg
The Winnipeg Jets made a massive announcement this afternoon. The Jets have re-signed forward Mark Scheifele and goaltender Connor Hellebuyck to matching 7-year extensions.
HERE TO STAY
Mark Scheifele and Connor Hellebuyck have signed identical seven-year contract extensions with an average annual value of $8,500,000.
This is a massive statement from the Jets. Many had wondered if this would be the last opportunity for this group to compete before they get blown up. Now with the matching extensions of two expiring core pieces, the future is focused on contending.
With both players signed all focus will be on winning. With the core group of Winnipeg starting to get older they are in their window to win a Stanley Cup right now.
