Dylan Samberg<\/a> signed a three-year, $17.25 million contract with the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday. It has an average annual value of $5.75 million.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old defenseman, who was a restricted free agent, avoided a scheduled salary arbitration hearing. He had 20 points (six goals, 14 assists) in 60 regular-season games last season to help the Jets (56-22-4) win the Presidents’ Trophy, given to the team with the best regular-season record in the NHL, and three assists in 13 Stanley Cup Playoff games.<\/p>\n

Samberg missed 21 games with a lower-body injury sustained after blocking a shot from Steven Stamkos<\/a> in the second period of a 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators on Nov. 23. Winnipeg’s second-round pick (No. 43) in the 2017 NHL Draft, has 51 points (nine goals, 42 assists) in 216 regular-season games and three assists in 23 playoff games.<\/p>\n

The Jets re-signed all three of their RFAs who filed for arbitration July 5, according to the NHL Players’ Association. Morgan Barron<\/a> signed a two-year, $3.7 million contract ($1.85 million AAV) July 14 and Gabriel Vilardi<\/a> a six-year, $45 million contract ($7.5 million AAV) July 18.<\/p>\n

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nicholas Robertson<\/a> is the lone RFA out of the 11 who remains without a contract. Hearings are scheduled to be held through Aug. 4 (dates were not announced). A player can sign a contract with his current team any time before his hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dylan Samberg signed a three-year, $17.25 million contract with the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday.
