Overview

• Agent Dan Milstein announced the agreement Saturday night, with reports listing either an $875,000 cap hit or salaries of $850,000 and $900,000 by year.
• The extension begins after Chibrikov completes the 2025–26 season on his entry-level contract, which still allows assignments between Winnipeg and AHL Manitoba.
• A one-way contract pays the same regardless of league assignment, a structure often interpreted as a club committing to NHL usage once the deal kicks in.
• Drafted 50th overall in 2021, he produced 47 points in 70 AHL games in 2023–24 and scored in his NHL debut in the Jets’ regular-season finale that April.
• A lower-body injury curtailed his 2024–25 to 30 AHL games, while he recorded two goals and one assist in four NHL appearances during brief call-ups.
