Connor Hellebuyck - G - Jets

Connor Hellebuyck has avoided going to arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract with the Winnipeg Jets.

Hellebuyck's hearing was scheduled for August 1, but the two sides were expected to work something out beforehand. Hellebuyck's new deal has an annual average value of $2.25 million. He posted a 26-19-4 record with a 2.89 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage last year. Winnipeg signed Steve Mason in the off-season to help mentor Hellebuyck in 2017-18. Mason could see the bulk of the playing time, but Hellebuyck will try to push him for starts.

The Winnipeg Jets have inked Andrew Copp to a two-year, $2 million contract.

Brandon Tanev - W - Jets

Brandon Tanev has inked a one-year, $700,000 contract with the Winnipeg Jets.

Tanev's contract is one-way, so he'll earn that amount even if he gets sent to the minors. He had two goals and four points in 51 games with Winnipeg as a rookie last season. He also recorded two goals and nine points in 23 AHL contests.

The Winnipeg Jets have announced an affiliation with the ECHL expansion team Jacksonville IceMen.

The Jets' previous ECHL affiliate was the Tulsa Oilers. Tulsa head coach Jason Christie will now be Jacksonville's bench boss instead. Christie has a 547-349-111 record in his ECHL career and has more wins than any other coach in the league's history.

Connor Hellebuyck - G - Jets

Connor Hellebuyck has filed for salary arbitration.

Dmitry Kulikov - D - Jets

Dmitry Kulikov is looking to put the 2016-17 campaign behind him.

Kulikov had two goals, five points, and a minus-26 rating in 47 games with the Buffalo Sabres. A big part of the issue is that Kulikov was hurt in the preseason and still wasn't 100% when he resumed playing. He's feeling good at this point though. The Jets are betting on a comeback out of Kulikov as they inked him to a three-year worth $4.33 million per year. Given that he's been a solid top-four defenseman in the past, there's potentially a lot of value in that deal.

Cam Schilling - D - Jets

Cam Schilling signed a one-year, two-way deal with an average of $650,000.

Schilling is expected to be a depth signing, and will most likely start the season with the Manitoba Moose of the AHL. He hasn't appeared in an NHL game since the 2014-15 season, and he picked up 26 points in 72 games during the most recent AHL campaign.

Buddy Robinson - W - Jets

Buddy Robinson has joined the Jets on a one-year, two-way deal.

He could earn 650,000 at the NHL level. Robinson played in four games with Ottawa last season, but spent most of the season in the minors. He also generated 31 points in 66 AHL matches with Binghamton and the San Jose Barracuda.

Michael Sgarbossa - C - Jets

The Winnipeg Jets have signed Micahel Sgarbossa to a one-year, $650,000 deal.

Sgarbossa has proven that he can score in the AHL but he has had limited success in the NHL in stops in Florida, Anaheim and Colorado. We're not confident things will be any different with the Jets. Sgarbossa registered seven points in 29 games with the Panthers last season.

Dmitry Kulikov - D - Jets

Dmitry Kulikov has signed a three-year, $13 million deal with the Winnipeg Jets.

The Jets were looking for a veteran puck-moving defenseman on the left side and Kulikov fits the bill. He will join Tyler Myers, Jacob Trouba, Dustin Byfuglien and young Josh Morrissey on a suddenly very effective Winnipeg blueline. Look for Kulikov to get some second power-play ice time and register between 25-30 points.

Steve Mason - G - Jets

The Winnipeg Jets have inked Steve Mason to a two-year, $8.2 million contract.

Mason had a mediocre season in Philadelphia in 2016-17 (26-21-8 record with a 2.66 goals-against-average and a .908 save percentage) but is still at least a league-average netminder. He will battle Connor Hellebuyck for playing time in the Peg and should see approximately 40 starts with an emerging Jets squad.

Dmitry Kulikov - D - Jets

The Winnipeg Jets will "likely" land Dmitry Kulikov in free agency, per TSN's Darren Dreger.

Kulikov is coming off a tough year with the Sabres. He was limited to 47 games because of a back injury, and he managed to produce just two goals three assists and an awful minus-26 rating. A change of scenery could do him some good. If he can get fully healthy, he has the potential of turning into a nice, low-risk signing (depending on the term of the contract).

Steve Mason - G - Jets

Steve Mason will reportedly sign with the Winnipeg Jets once free agency opens on Saturday afternoon.

Jeff Hamilton of the Winnipeg Free Press says the deal is done, per sources close to Mason. The 29-year-old had a 26-21-8 record with a 2.66 goals-against-average and a .908 save percentage. Assuming the deal gets done, Mason and Connor Hellebuyck would likely split time between the pipes in Winnipeg next season.
