Josh Morrissey is easily one of the best players on the Jets and provides them outstanding value.
The Athletic has recently come out with the NHL's best contracts and Josh Morrissey has been ranked 10th overall in the league. Although Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff has has been heavily scrutinized as of late, fans can't deny that he knocked it out of the park regarding Morrissey's contract.
His cap hit of $6.25 million initially looked like an overpay as Morrissey struggled through the North-Division ‘bubble' years, but now, he has solidified himself as a top-10 defenceman in the league and that dollar amount gives the Jets a ton of flexibility.

He has put together back-to-back fantastic seasons, posting 76 points in 78 games in 2022-23, and then following it up with 69 points in 81 games last season. He received more Norris Trophy votes for his performance in the 2022-23 season, but most Jets fans and media would argue that he was a better all-around defender last season.
His contract is set to expire in 2028-29 and the Jets have the ace defenceman locked in until then. Jets fans should feel extremely proud about having one the NHL's best defenders at such a discounted price.
