Dylan Samberg is set to follow up his career-best NHL season in a familiar uniform.
The 26-year-old defenceman and the Winnipeg Jets have agreed to a three-year deal, the club announced Wednesday, keeping Samberg with the only NHL team he’s ever known.
The extension has an average annual value of $5,750,000.
Samberg was drafted 43rd overall by the Jets in 2017 and has spent his entire pro career in Manitoba, appearing in a total of 216 games for the Jets and 64 for the Manitoba Moose in the AHL.
