Restricted free agent defenseman Dylan Samberg has reached an agreement to avoid a salary arbitration hearing and has signed a three-year contract extension with the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday.
Although the team did not disclose the financial terms, several media outlets reported that the deal is worth $17.25 million ($5.75 million average annual value).
Samberg, 26, achieved his best personal marks in goals (six), points (20) and plus/minus rating (plus 34) in 60 games last season. In addition, he added three assists in 13 playoff games.
Since being selected by Winnipeg in the second round of the 2017 NHL Draft, he has accumulated a total of 51 points (nine goals, 42 assists) in 216 career games.
