The Winnipeg Jets continue to make some moves as the team has officially signed forward Trevor Lewis to a one-year contract worth $1 million.

Hearing the Winnipeg Jets and Trevor Lewis, who impressed at camp while on a PTO, will finalize 1-year contract later today worth under $1M.

Lewis was in camp with the team on a professional tryout and now has some job security for this season. The 34-year-old brings a ton of versatility to the lineup as he can play all over the ice. He also brings lots of playoff experience including Stanley Cup championship experience which will go a long way in the room in Winnipeg.

Lewis spent over a decade playing for the Los Angeles Kings and was looking to catch on to a depth role with a contender, and if the Jets can stay healthy and maximize their roster, there's certainly a chance they can go deep in the playoffs.

Great move for the Jets as Lewis does a lot of the little things you need for a player to win games.
