Winnipeg Jets sign 2021 3rd rounder Dmitry Kuzmin to 3 year ELC

With the 82nd overall selection at the 2021 draft Winnipeg selected defenceman Dmitry Kuzmin. We learned quite a bit more about the Belarusian prospect via this video shot behind the scenes of what the day looked like for him, before he was selected by the Jets in the 3rd round and then what takes place after he had been drafted.

Today his agent Dan Milstein tweeted out a congrats that his client had signed his three-year entry-level contract with Winnipeg. Milstein didn’t release the terms as part of the tweet.

The Jets have now confirmed the signing saying the AAV is $866,667.

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.
