Dylan Samberg has secured a three-year contract worth $17.25 million with the Winnipeg Jets, boasting an average annual value of $5.75 million. The 26-year-old defenseman, who was a restricted free agent, managed to sidestep a salary arbitration hearing, showcasing his importance to the team. Last season, he tallied 20 points, including six goals and 14 assists, in 60 games, contributing to the Jets' impressive Presidents' Trophy-winning season.

Despite missing 21 games due to a lower-body injury sustained after blocking a shot from Steven Stamkos, Samberg has established himself as a key player for Winnipeg, amassing 51 points in 216 regular-season games. The Jets also re-signed fellow restricted free agents Morgan Barron and Gabriel Vilardi, reinforcing their roster strength as they prepare for the upcoming season.
