Winnipeg Jets sign forward Morgan Barron to two-year, US$3.7M extension
WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets have signed forward Morgan Barron to a two-year contract extension with an average annual value of US$1.85 million, the club announced Monday.
The 26-year-old from Halifax had 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) in 74 games last season.
He added two assists in 13 playoff games.
The six-foot-four, 220-pound Barron was originally drafted in the sixth round by the New York Rangers in 2017.
He was acquired by Winnipeg from the Rangers at the 2022 trade deadline in the deal that sent Andrew Copp the other way.
Barron has 60 points in 256 career NHL games with the Jets and Rangers.
