Jets re-sign Stanley to 1-year, $1M pact

The Winnipeg Jets re-signed restricted free-agent defenseman Logan Stanley to a one-year, $1-million contract, the team announced Saturday.

He'll be a restricted free agent after the deal, but he can become unrestricted in 2025.

Stanley recorded three points in 19 games for the Jets last season, although he isn't known for his offense. He's one of the most physically imposing players in the NHL, standing at 6-foot-7 and 228 pounds. However, his size hasn't translated to strong defensive results thus far in his three-year NHL career.

The 25-year-old figures to compete for a full-time role on Winnipeg's blue line, although he currently projects to be seventh on the depth chart behind Josh Morrissey, Neal Pionk, Brenden Dillon, Dylan DeMelo, Nate Schmidt, and Dylan Samberg.

The Jets drafted Stanley 18th overall in 2016.
