This afternoon several reports have confirmed that the Winnipeg Jets have signed one of their top prospects to an entry-level deal. The Winnipeg Jets continue their preparation for NHL Free Agency as they look to replace Nikolaj Ehlers. With the forward unit being the priority, the Jets are not expected to make many changes to their defensive unit. Surprisingly, the Jets first move of the offseason has been to add talent to the back end by signing top prospect 2024 second-round NHL Draft pick Alfons Freij. <h3>Winnipeg Jets Sign Top Defensive Prospect Alfons Freij</h3> Multiple reports this evening have confirmed that the Jets have agreed to an entry-level deal with their 2025 second rounder. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/wpgmurat/status/1934004805669916705'><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/NHLJets/status/1933978421769711725'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Freij a hyper-mobile puck moving defenseman had an impressive season in HockeyAllsvenskan Sweden's second division league. Despite being such a mobile and offensive leaning player, Freij tallied just 8 points in 29 games with IF Bjorkloven in Allsvenskan. While Freij is not expected to make the NHL roster for next season his progress during his first season as a Jets' prospect is something to be proud of. Now, Kevin Cheveldayoff, Alfons Freij, and his agents will have to determine whether or not a move to the AHL is best for Freij's career. If not, then Freij will head to the Swedish Hockey League top division where he is scheduled to play with Timra IK next season. The Jets will also now have the option to bring Freij over to the AHL mid-season as well if they believe he is being improperly handled by his new SHL club. Regardless, the future is bright for Freij to be a key piece of the Winnipeg Jets top-four on defense at some point throughout his career. As more reports surface regarding the Jets' plans with Freij, we will pass the latest news along to you.
