Jets sign defenceman Zach Bogosian to seven-year contract worth $36 million
WINNIPEG – The Winnipeg Jets have signed defenceman Zach Bogosian to a seven-year, $36-million contract.
Bogosian was the Jets’ final restricted free agent who needed a new deal. He’ll count just over $5.14 million against the salary cap.
The 23-year-old has 34 goals and 69 assists in 297 games, all with the same franchise, beginning with its days as the Atlanta Thrashers. He was invited to U.S. Olympic orientation camp that will take place next month.
Last week the Jets signed right-winger Blake Wheeler to a six-year, $33.6-million contract. They also gave restricted-free-agent centre Bryan Little a five-year, $23.5 million deal.
