Nino Niederreiter has signed a three-year, $12 million deal with the Winnipeg Jets, with an average annual value of $4 million. This extension comes after the Jets signed Mark Scheifele and Connor Hellebuyck to seven-year deals in October. The signing raises questions about the Jets' approach to future UFAs and their perception. Wheeler's position on the top line for the NYR is being questioned, with suggestions to put Panarin and Lafrenière up there to help Zibanejad perform better.

One of the topics I wrote about for our quarter-season analysis piece questioned how long Wheeler would last on the top line and wondered if putting Panarin and Lafrenière up there would help get Zibanejad going. You can read it here #NYR 👇 https://t.co/mIsK9sw64U
