Jared Clinton of The Hockey News: Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff has had a busy offseason re-signing their RFAs, but he’s not done yet as defenseman Josh Morrissey needs a new deal.
Morrissey doesn’t have a lot of leverage aside from a holdout.
If the Jets were to sign Morrissey to a two- or three-year bridge deal, he would have arbitration rights when that deal is done, and potentially a lot more money on a new deal.
The best option for the Jets might be to sign Morrissey to a long-term deal, especially if they can get him at a cost-effective number.
