Scott Billeck: Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey has said that they’ve had preliminary contract extension talks. He’s looking to remain in Winnipeg long-term.
He would be a restricted free agent next offseason with arbitration rights.
Scott Billeck: Morrissey said there had been extension talks throughout the summer and during the last few weeks.
Scott Billeck: Morrissey: “I still have another year left on this deal,” he said. “It doesn’t really matter, I guess, if the deal gets done any time before you walk into the arbitration room, if that was something that was going to happen.
