The following is a copy of the official press release sent by the Winnipeg Jets.
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA
The Winnipeg Jets are proud to announce that the team has agreed to terms with Centre Travis Zajac on a 6 year contract extension. The deal will pay him $35M over the life of the contract, which also includes a no trade clause. We would like to thank Travis for his time with the team, and his continued dedication to our organization, fans, city, and province. Also, a great thanks to his agent, Mark Kopsack for his time in these negotiations.
Jay's Say:
This is a great signing for the Jets, and comes as a relief to the fans who lost sleep over trade rumours. General Manager Sean Croft has continued to stand behind his stance on not moving Zajac, and this deal keeps him in the 'Peg long term. This will also give the Jets cap flexibility to extend other Free Agents to be, keeping the nucleus of the team together, which will hopefully get them back to the playoffs sooner rather than later.
