A contract extension for Dylan Samberg was supposed to be a formality. A long-term deal was what we'd heard for weeks. Samberg did re-sign with the Winnipeg Jets, but on a much shorter 3-year deal. Why did the contract negotiations go all the way to the arbitration deadline? What does this contract say about Winnipeg's thought process for the future of the team? Are the Jets quietly preparing for a future teardown over the next few years? What is the plan for Winnipeg as we enter a new era of the NHL?
