1. Signings

Most of the Jets’ free agent activity this offseason was in regards to them signing players from their 2021 roster that were either UFAs or restricted free agents (“RFA’s), although they did bring some new faces into the organization.

RFAs

The Jets were able to get deals done with all four of their players from their roster that were RFAs. Within a week’s span, they resigned forward Andrew Copp and also resigned defensemen Logan Stanley, Neal Pionk, and Johnathan Kovacevic.

Kevin Cheveldayoff and the Jets front office deserves an immense amount of credit for getting these four deals done and they are all listed below (with years and AAV):

Andrew Copp: 1 year x $3,640,000
Logan Stanley: 2 years x $900,000
Neal Pionk: 4 years x $5,875,000
Johnathan Kovacevic: 1 year x $750,000

UFAs

Since the Jets had a lot of work to do in resigning their RFAs, they had a tight budget to work with regards to singing UFAs.

Winnipeg also was able to bring back pending UFAs Dominic Toninanto, Paul Stastny, and Eric Comrie to the club as they resigned them to new contracts through next season.

The Jets’ arguably biggest UFA signing this offseason was Riley Nash as the veteran forward signed a one-year deal with Winnipeg.

Also, Winnipeg made a number of depth forward signings and brought four new forwards including Evgeny Svechnikov, Austin Poganski, Mikey Eyssimont, and Luke Johnson to the franchise.
