Per their website, the Winnipeg Jets announced the re-signing of defenseman Brenden Kichton. The deal is for one-year, $600K. It is also a two-way contract.
In 68 games with the AHL’s Manitoba Moose, Kichton had 41 points (11-30) in 68 games. The 24-year-old defenseman led all blue liners in points, and spent the season with the Moose.
With Kichton’s signing, the Jets now only have six restricted free agents. This list includes Jacob Trouba, Brandon Tanev, Joel Armia, J.C. Lipon, Adam Lowry and Mark Scheifele.
