Ville Heinola’s Jets tenure ends as he heads to Vegas on a one-year deal — a once-hyped first-round pick who dazzled at 18 with NHL goals and 20+ minutes a game now plays his final NHL games in Winnipeg after seven seasons of inconsistent roster time, injuries, and unrealized potential.

Winnipeg Jets just locked up defenseman Mario Ferraro to a three-year, $4M average-value deal through 2029 — a savvy move that bolsters their blue line with a proven, high-minute defender. Ferraro, 27, led the Sharks in blocked shots and tallied 23 points in 82 games last season, bringing elite defensive grit, 500+ NHL games, and a gold medal with Canada in 2021. This signing signals Winnipeg’s serious commitment to building a stable, future-ready defense.

Mario Ferraro, the durable defenseman who played all 82 games last season and thrives in tough penalty kill minutes, has signed a three-year, $12M deal with the Winnipeg Jets — a fresh start after seven seasons with San Jose, where the team never made the playoffs. Ferraro, who’s familiar with Jets players through his time playing alongside Gabe Vilardi and Cole Perfetti on Canada’s 2021 World Championship team, is eager to reunite with them and bring championship energy to Winnipeg. Though the move came quickly during free agency, he trusts the Jets’ leadership and is ready to embrace this next chapter — leaving San Jose with gratitude but stepping boldly into a new era with the Jets.
