MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
The 2017/18 season wasn't the kind goalie Steve Mason thought he would have when he signed a two-year, $8.2-million contract with the Jets last summer.
Steve Mason tried to put on a happy face in front of the cameras Tuesday. But while the Winnipeg Jets managed to reach new heights, there was no denying what a miserable season this was for the veteran netminder on a personal level.
And how much it’s clouded his future.
Mason, 29, signed a lucrative two-year deal worth US$8.2 million last summer and was essentially handed the starting job out of training camp.
