The Winnipeg Jets have officially added another young defenceman to their prospect pool. Declan Chisholm, 20, signed a three-year, entry-level contract Monday with an average annual value of $825,000. The deal starts in the 2020-21 season. Today was the deadline to get the product of Bowmanville, Ont., signed. Chisholm was drafted by the Jets in the fifth round (150th overall) in the 2018 NHL Draft and just completed his fourth junior season with the OHL's Peterborough Petes, setting a career high for goals (13), assists (56) and points (69). Chisholm was the third-highest point-producing defenceman in the OHL.
Giovanni Vallati (2018 fifth-rounder) and Jacob Cederholm (2017 fourth-rounder) were not signed by the Central Division squad.
