And then there were two.
The Winnipeg Jets and restricted free agent Morgan Barron agreed to terms on a two-year deal on Monday, which allows both sides to avoid arbitration.
Barron’s deal calls for an AAV of $1.85 million, which represents a modest raise from the $1.35 million AAV on his previous two-year pact.
Barron will make $1.7 million in the first season of the new contract and gets a raise to $2 million in Year 2.
The versatile forward had eight goals and 15 points in 74 games last season and has accumulated 30 goals and 60 points in 256 career NHL games with the Jets and New York Rangers, who drafted Barron in the sixth round (174th overall) in the 2017 NHL Draft.
Barron, 26, is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 of 2027.
The Jets have two restricted free agents remaining: defenceman Dylan Samberg and forward Gabe Vilardi.
