Shawn Matthias took less money but more term than he did as a free agent last summer.
The 28-year-old depth centre agreed to a two-year, $4.25-million contract with the Winnipeg Jets Friday.
Matthias’s new cap hit of $2.125 million is slightly lower than the $2.3 million deal he had for 2015-16.
In 71 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Colorado Avalanche last season, the Mississauga, Ont., native scored 12 goals and added 16 assists.
