Winnipeg Jets agree to terms with 2015 4th rounder Michael Spacek

The Jets have signed their 2015 4th rounder to a three year entry level contract.  I had the chance to watch Spacek play with the Moose to end the 2016-17 season and his skill was quite evident on the ice.  In four games with Manitoba he had one assist.
