Kyle Connor's future with the Winnipeg Jets appears stable, according to NHL insider Dave Pagnotta. Despite the buzz surrounding high-profile contracts for players like Connor McDavid and Kirill Kaprizov, there are no current indications that Connor will leave Winnipeg. His salary expectations will likely hinge on the deals signed by these stars, with speculation suggesting he could command around $10 to $12 million per year.

Pagnotta emphasizes that Winnipeg understands the importance of keeping Connor in the fold, especially with other core players already committed. Unlike Nikolaj Ehlers, who was expected to test free agency, there’s a sense of commitment and clarity regarding Connor's situation. The team’s approach suggests they are prepared to allocate significant funds to retain him, reflecting his integral role within the roster.
