Jets sign Lipon to contract worth $650K

The Winnipeg Jets re-signed restricted free agent J.C. Lipon to a one-year, two-way deal on Monday morning.

The pact for the 23-year-old is worth $650,000 at the NHL level.

The 6-foot, 190-pounder had one assist in nine games with the club last season, his first regular season action with the big club since being drafted 91st overall in the third round of the 2013 NHL Draft.

With the Manitoba Moose, the Regina native scored 13 times and added 17 helpers in 45 games. He has 27 goals and 70 assists in 192 career AHL games.

Lipon’s signing leaves defensemen Jacob Trouba as the lone RFA yet to sign with the club this offseason.
