Jets sign Samberg to 2-year, $2.8M contract

The Winnipeg Jets signed defenseman Dylan Samberg to a two-year contract with an average annual value of $1.4 million, the team announced Wednesday.

Samberg tallied two goals and eight points in 63 contests over the 2022-23 campaign - his first full NHL season. He was a restricted free agent and didn't file for salary arbitration prior to Wednesday's deadline.

The 24-year-old made his World Championship debut with USA this spring, accruing one goal and four points in 10 contests as a top-pairing blue-liner.

Winnipeg drafted Samberg with the 43rd overall pick in 2017. He played three seasons at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, winning two national championships.

The 6-foot-4 defenseman has played 78 games across two seasons with the Jets, totaling two goals and 13 points.
