It looks like Vladislav Namestnikov will be staying put in Winnipeg, as the Jets have signed him to a two-year contract extension earlier today. The Jets have taken one of their pending unrestricted free agents off the market as they have just signed forward Vladislav Namestnikov to <a href='https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/jets-sign-vladislav-namestnikov-to-two-year-contract-extension/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>a two-year contract extension.</a> Insider <a href='https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/jets-sign-vlhttps://x.com/frank_seravalliadislav-namestnikov-to-two-year-contract-extension/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Frank Seravalli</a> adds that the veteran will carry a cap hit of $3M on this deal. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/frank_seravalli/status/1893333920508244085'> </a></blockquote></div> The 32-year-old showed some promise offensively early in his career with a 48-point season back in 2017-18. <h3>Namestnikov hasn't been able to reach his offensive numbers for many years</h3> However, he hasn't been able to reach those numbers again, resulting in him becoming a bit of a player who bounces around, spending time with eight different teams between that season and the 2022-23 campaign. The Jets were the last team out of that group when they acquired him as a rental at the 2023 trade deadline and they liked what they saw. For that reason, they gave him a two-year, $4M contract on the opening day of free agency that summer. That contract has worked out well for both sides. While <a href='https://www.nhl.com/jets/player/vladislav-namestnikov-8476480' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Namestnikov</a> still hasn't gotten back to his top offensive numbers of the past, he has become a solid secondary scorer for his team. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/HockeyDaily365/status/1726040878450426063'> </a></blockquote></div> Last season in his first full year with Winnipeg, he picked up 11 goals and 26 assists in 78 games, good for the second-highest point total of his NHL career. He also spent a considerable amount of time at the center position after spending most of the previous few seasons on the wing. Namestnikov is on pace for a better offensive output this season. Through 52 games played, he has 10 goals and 19 assists while playing just under 15 minutes a night of ice time.
