Jets sign stars Scheifele, Hellebuyck to matching 7-year extensions
The Winnipeg Jets have agreed to identical deals with two major pieces of their team.
The Manitoba club says it has reached identical seven-year deals with forward Mark Scheifele and goalie Connor Hellebuyck, each with an average value of $8.5 million US per year.
The extensions are set to come into effect in the 2024-25 NHL season.
Scheifele set a career-high for goals last season with 42, and ranks first in franchise history with playoff goals (19) as well as game-winning goals (44) after being drafted by the Jets seventh overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
