The Winnipeg Jets have agreed to terms with depth defenceman Isaak Phillips on a two-year, two-way contract, the team announced on Friday afternoon.
Phillips, 23, was a restricted free agent and recorded two goals and 10 points in 56 career games with the Chicago Blackhawks and has 26 goals and 87 points in 239 American Hockey League games with the Manitoba Moose and Rockford IceHogs.
Phillips plays a physical game and will be counted on by the Moose and could work himself into a call-up situation because of his robust style of play.
The deal for Phillips carries an AAV of US$812,5000 in the NHL — US$775,000 in the first season and US$850,000 in the second.
The minor league portion of the salary in the first season is US$375,000, with a guarantee of US$425,000 and US$400,000 in the second season, with a guarantee of US$450,000.
