Winnipeg Jets sign Isaak Phillips to a two-year, two-way contract

In the middle of January this past season the Jets and Blackhawks organizations made a deal which saw Winnipeg send smooth-skating defenceman Dmitry Kuzmin (2021 3rd) for the more veteran blueliner Isaak Phillips who had 56 NHL games under his belt.

Today, the Jets announced they have signed Phillip to a two-year, two-way contract. It is a $812,500 AAV at the NHL level. He’s the first RFA knocked off the list for GM Kevin Cheveldayoff.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. 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.
