Winnipeg Jets sign RFA forward Rasmus Kupari to a two-year contract

When the Jets dealt Pierre-Luc Dubois for Gabe Vilardi, Alex Iafallo and Rasmus Kupari the biggest unknown was the Finnish centre. Kupari has played 130 games in the NHL for the Kings after they drafted him 20th overall at the 2018 Draft in Dallas. He has nine goals and 20 assists during his time in Los Angeles.

Of course he came to Winnipeg as an RFA needing a new contract and that’s just what he got today as it was confirmed he’s signed a two-year deal with the Jets with an AAV of 1 million.

He will have a good shot to help try to forge an identity for a bottom six that has largely been without one for the last number of years.

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.
