Overview
- The Jets re-signed forward Cole Koepke to a two-year extension worth $2.9 million on Saturday, keeping him under contract through 2027-28.
- The deal carries a $1.45 million annual cap charge and reflects his value as a bottom-six winger who led Winnipeg with 186 hits this season.
- Koepke, 27, produced eight goals and nine assists in 66 games after arriving on a one-year, $1 million pact last summer.
- He previously broke through with Boston in 2024-25, recording 10 goals and 17 points in 73 games after early NHL time with Tampa Bay and AHL Syracuse.
- With this signing done, Winnipeg still faces calls on UFAs Gustav Nyquist, Colin Miller and Jacob Bryson, and it is waiting on Jonathan Toews to decide whether to retire or return.
