Jets re-sign Kyle Connor

The Winnipeg Jets have re-signed Kyle Connor to an 8-year contract extension with a cap hit of $12 million.

Connor is the third high-profile forward to re-sign, following Kirill Kaprizov last week and Connor McDavid on Monday. Jack Eichel and Artemi Panarin are the last of the elite tier of potential 2026 free agent forwards still unsigned.

Connor, 28, had 41 goals and 56 assists in 82 games with the Jets last season.
