NHL Insider Predicts What Kyle Connor's Contract Will Look Like as Extension Talks Progress

Throughout the preseason reports have continued to flow in giving updates on Kyle Connor's extension talks with Kevin Cheveldayoff and the Jets organization.

Today, that has continued as David Pagnotta has projected what the framework of the deal between Connor and the Jets will eventually be.

During a new episode of The Sheet, David Pagnotta provided the latest update on where things stand with Kyle Connor.

To this point, Connor has been projected to land a contract north of 15 million dollars per year that would keep him in Winnipeg long-term.

Now, according to Pagnotta the two sides are focused on a long-term deal of seven years at somewhere between 12 and 13 million dollars per season.

While this would be a very expensive deal in terms of the Jets' other contracts it would be an absolute steal compared to what the Minnesota Wild just paid Kirill Kaprizov.

This would be a massive win for the Jets to keep Connor who is such an integral part of their team both on and off the ice for what is expected to be a fairly cheap contract once a few years go by.

At the moment, talks are still not in the advanced stages and things could still change but it seems an extension for Kyle Connor is only a matter of time away from being completed.

As more updates are given on Connor's future we will pass along the latest details.
