Breaking news out of Winnipeg as the Jets have signed Manitoba Moose defenceman Ashton Saunter to a 2 year contract extension.
The Flin Flon Alberta native will be calling Winnipeg home for another two seasons to develop in the Jets farm system. This is an important extension for the Jets as Saunter is known to be a veteran presence who offers great mentorship and guidance to the younger Moose prospects.
Last season he played 65 games for the Moose as he helped guide the next generation of prospect Dmen. He spent a lot of time with 2020 6th rounder Tyrel Bauer but also alongside 2019 2nd rounder Simon Lundmark and even recent college signee Dylan Anhorn. Last season was his most productive offensively as he scored five goals.
It seems like Kevin Cheveldayoff's focus as shifted directly to bolstering his AHL farm system. Although the Winnipeg Jets faithful would like to see more offseason action, theres no denying that this is a solid move by the Jets GM.
