Overview

  • The Jets signed 35-year-old winger Gustav Nyquist to a one-year, US$3.25-million contract for the 2025-26 season.
  • Nyquist recorded 11 goals and 17 assists in 79 games last season between Nashville and Minnesota after posting a career-high 75 points in 2023-24.
  • Winnipeg added five players on identical one-year, two-way deals worth US$775,000 in the NHL, including former Canucks winger Phil Di Giuseppe.
  • Unrestricted free agents Nikolaj Ehlers and Dmitry Orlov remain unsigned as teams round out their rosters in the early phase of free agency.
  • These early acquisitions reflect the Jets’ effort to reinforce veteran scoring support and organizational resilience ahead of the new season.
