Winnipeg Jets sign forward Walker Duehr to 2-year contract extension

The Winnipeg Jets have secured forward Walker Duehr for an additional two seasons, announcing the contract extension on Monday. This signing comes shortly after the conclusion of the Stanley Cup Final and marks the Jets' second player acquisition of the off-season.

Duehr's new contract is a two-way agreement, stipulating an annual salary of $875,000 should he be assigned to the National Hockey League roster. Last season, the 28-year-old forward made limited appearances with the parent club, playing in just three NHL games.

He spent the majority of the 2025-26 campaign with the AHL's Manitoba Moose. There, Duehr proved to be a significant offensive contributor, finishing second on the team with 17 goals and adding 17 assists across 62 regular-season games. He also contributed offensively during the Calder Cup Playoffs, tallying a goal and two assists in seven contests.

This extension follows another recent signing, Cole Koepke, who also agreed to a two-year deal with the Jets. The team currently has eight players set to become unrestricted free agents next month, indicating potential further roster changes as the off-season progresses.
