WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets have signed defenceman Dylan Samberg to a three-year entry-level contract, starting in the 2020-21 season.

The deal carries an average annual value of US$1.175 million.

The 21-year-old was selected by the Jets in the second round (43rd overall) in the 2017 NHL draft and just completed his junior season with the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs.

The Hermantown, Minn., native had a goal and 20 assists in 28 games, but the early cancellation of the NCAA hockey season due to the COVID-19 pandemic ended UMD’s hopes for a third straight championship.

Internationally, Samberg represented the United States at the 2018 and 2019 world junior hockey championships.
