Dylan Samberg looks to prove his worth

Dylan Samberg signed a two-year, $1.4 million AAV contract last offseason, and he's set to provide surplus value on it for a second straight year. He is another player, similar to Vilardi, who is likely in for a pay raise at this time next year.

With the departure of Brenden Dillon, who recently signed with the New Jersey Devils, Samberg is primed to step into a top-four role alongside Neal Pionk next season. Given his results on the third pairing with Nate Schmidt last year, it's safe to say that he is ready for this bump up the lineup, and his contract will give the Jets a ton of flexibility.
