WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- An arbitrator has awarded Winnipeg Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba a one-year, $5.5 million contract for the 2018-19 season, the league announced Sunday.
Winnipeg has 48 hours to accept the ruling or turn it down and make Trouba an unrestricted free agent.
Trouba, 24, was one of five restricted free agents on the Jets to file for arbitration earlier this month, including Connor Hellebuyck, Adam Lowry, Brandon Tanev and Marko Dano.
Trouba had a hearing in Toronto on Friday.
Trouba had 24 points during an injury-plagued season with the Jets.
