When will Kyle Connor sign with Winnipeg Jets
Murat Ates of Track and Field: Ates wrote in his column, Johnathan Toews and what he could bring to the team. If Toews stays healthy, he can be 2C, and the Winnipeg Jets don’t have to worry about that. The bigger problem with the jet is Kyle Connor’s contract extension.
When it comes to Connor and his contract extension, he will be the highest paid player in Winnipeg Jets history. As salary caps rise in the next few years, Mikko Rantanen and Mitch Marner contract extensions are extended, with an AAV of $12 million per season likely being the starting point. However, this will be more than the percentage of hats obtained by Mark Scheifele and Connor Hellebuyck as the upper limit.
In the 2026 grade, the presence of other notable free agents will complicate this process. There is a guy named Adrian Kempe in Los Angeles who will get over $10 million, and Kyle Connor has a better figure than his. Therefore, no matter who signs first, the market will be set.

Sidney Crosby’s agent talks about whether the future has a purpose
Josh Yohe of Track and Field held the annual mailbag and was asked why Sidney Crosby’s agent Pat Brisson mentioned the athlete’s Pierre Lebrun’s potential that his clients might launch. It’s more about making sure his wingers Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell aren’t traded.
As Yohe mentioned, the comments are calculated and his clients may be unhappy with his agent’s statements, but it’s about ensuring the captain’s satisfaction and ensuring the Penguins’ season success. While the playoffs may not be possible, if Pittsburgh performed better than expected, maybe they wouldn’t sell the work that everyone thought they would.
As Yohe said in another question about Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin being traded, he thought it wouldn’t happen. Several factors may lead to a transaction between the parties, including both parties notifying the management what they want.
