That cap hit is not exactly where I thought it would be which makes it a pretty solid signing by the Jets.  Lowry was set to become a UFA after this season.

The 2011 3rd round pick of Winnipeg was having a resurgent season with eight goals and 12 assists for 20 points in 44 games after having 10 points in 49 games the season prior.

Update:

The team has confirmed the extension.  Lowry set to speak today at 4:30 PM.

Update II:

Check out his media availability here.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
