The Winnipeg Jets have made a big signing on day two of NHL Free Agency landing a veteran forward to add to their group. Earlier today, the Winnipeg Jets lost forward Mason Appleton in free agency as he signed in a new home. On top of his departure, the Jets are also still expected to lose Nikolaj Ehlers in the coming days as well. With Appleton moving on and Ehlers likely on his way out. have made it a priority to find another forward to fill the middle-six role that these two veterans occupied during their time in Winnipeg. <h3>Winnipeg Jets Land Highly Skilled Veteran Forward In Free Agency</h3> According to a report from Elliotte Friedman the Jets have secured 14-year NHL veteran Gustav Nyquist on the free agent market. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/friedgehnic/status/1940523680096002392'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nhlnetwork/status/1940524484320231555'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Nyquist brings veteran leadership and scoring touch that is not often found at this stage of NHL Free Agency. While Nyquist has fallen off in recent season offensively he is just 2 seasons removed from a 75 point season and had been playing on a disappointing Nashville Predators team as of late. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/connorhrabchak1/status/1940524571159110085'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> At 35-years-old Nyquist will likely just be a depth scorer for the Winnipeg Jets who can move up and down the lineup when called upon. According to Friedman, Nyquist will make just over 3 million dollars on the contract with the Jets this season. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/friedgehnic/status/1940526346259804414'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Due to his age, Nyquist is likely a one year solution to the Winnipeg Jets scoring wing problems as they look to re-load for another deep Stanley Cup Playoff run. If Nyquist can find the fountain of youth for one more productive season he could be one of the best signings of free agency. Either way, this deal for the Winnipeg Jets is low risk with plenty of upside.
