Neal Pionk is one of the top <a href='https://www.nhl.com/jets/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Jets</a> defensemen, however after the most recent report, his future with the team is no longer clear and he could be on the move. Neal Pionk has <a href='https://www.nhlpa.com/news/1-22756/pionk-reflects-on-journey-to-finding-success-with-the-jets' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>been a steady contributor to the Winnipeg Jets</a> this year, posting nine goals and 28 assists for 37 points in 66 games. Although his offense has slowed since a torrid beginning, when he had 17 points in his first 16 games, this is still his highest-scoring season since he had 45 points in 71 games in his first season with the Jets during the 2019-20 season. With Pionk's deal on the verge of expiring and little rumbling of an extension, the actual question is what his future is in Winnipeg. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DailyFaceoff/status/1899596087302004839'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Daily Faceoff Live had a chance to catch up with <a href='https://x.com/WPGMurat' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Murat Ates</a> of The Athletic recently to discuss Pionk's contract and if the Jets are going to re-sign him. <h3>The Jets are also negotiating with other agents too</h3> In Pionk's mind, based off Ates' view, things are fine by him, and the Jets are negotiating with some other agents regarding several other of their players, not just Pionk. His defense partner Dylan Samberg, an off-season restricted free agent, needs to be signed as well. Ates hopes to see the return of both players since <a href='https://www.nhl.com/jets/player/neal-pionk-8480145' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Pionk</a> remains highly popular in the organization. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/HockeyDaily365/status/1882295628593815700'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> With his scoring skill and the ability to get wrist shots through traffic to create scoring chances, Pionk's next contract could cost quite a pretty nickel. That's why I pay my agent. - Neal Pionk But even without an extension on the books, there are no real questions about his long-term future with the team, as confidence remains high at the moment.
