Kyle Connor is staying in Winnipeg long-term.
The Jets’ star winger, who turns 29 this December, agreed to terms with the club on an eight-year, $96-million contract on Wednesday.
Connor, who was drafted 17th overall by the Jets in 2015, has recorded 582 points in 613 games — all with the Jets. He led Winnipeg in points and assists last season, setting career highs in both categories, and repeating that feat in the playoffs while tied for the team high in goals.
