Hey there, time traveller!

The Winnipeg Jets have locked up some additional depth by re-signing defenceman Nelson Nogier.
The restricted free agent inked a one-year, two-way deal Tuesday that pays him $700,000 if playing in the NHL and $80,000 if in the the American Hockey League.
Nogier, 23, has spent the majority of his pro career with the Manitoba Moose but has appeared in 11 games with the Jets, including one last season when injuries depleted the blue-line.
He had one goal and eight assists in 74 games with the AHL club last season. Nogier missed the majority of the 2017-18 season with an injury.
Nogier, a native of Saskatoon, was picked in the fourth round (101st overall) in the 2014 NHL draft. He turned pro during the 2016-17 season after four years in the Western Hockey League with the Saskatoon Blades and Red Deer Rebels.
The Jets now have five RFAs left to sign: forward Andrew Copp is set for an arbitration hearing on July 21 if a deal can’t be reached by then, while defenceman Neal Pionk is slated for July 24. Forwards Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor are not eligible for arbitration, while Moose goalie Eric Comrie did not elect for a hearing.
