Chat with Winnipeg Jets 2017 3rd rounder Johnny Kovacevic after signing new contract

He was on the Jets list of RFAs this summer and his representation and Winnipeg settled on a one-year, two way deal for the 2021-22 season.

1) Signing his contract with the Jets (0:33)
2) Term of the deal (1:30)

4) Playing 38 minutes in one game (4:00).

7) Why did he and Dylan Samberg work well as a pairing? (8:10).
8) What former Moose coach Pascal Vincent meant to him (9:22).
9) Getting prepared for next season (10:40).
10) His thoughts on the moves the Jets made this summer (11:52).
11) Focusing on what is in front of him (13:53).
