We’ve now reached the midway point of August, meaning summer will come to an end in just a few weeks. While the temperature is set to change in the near future, that also means hockey season isn’t far behind and will likely creep up on everyone once the calendar shifts to September. But until that…
Reaching unrestricted free agency is something most NHL players are forced to wait patiently for during the early stages of their career, but for forward Andrew Copp, he’ll receive an opportunity to reach the open market around this time next summer.

After avoiding arbitration with defenseman Neal Pionk on Wednesday, the Winnipeg Jets only had one notable restricted free agent remaining and the front office didn’t waste any time resolving that issue, as they’ve re-signed forward Andrew Copp to a one-year contract extension.

On Wednesday, arbitration hearings began across the NHL, but for the Winnipeg Jets, they won’t be headed in that direction with an important piece of their blueline as defenseman Neal Pionk has agreed to a four-year contract extension.

The dog days of summer have officially arrived, which means we’re already halfway through the off-season. In just over a month, players will begin reporting for training camp and will be attempting to prepare for the upcoming season.
