Jets Ink Thrun to One-Year Deal, Bet on Defensive Depth

Winnipeg has committed to Henry Thrun on a one-year contract, a move that gives the organization flexibility while addressing an immediate need on the back end. The short-term nature of the deal suggests the Jets are either testing Thrun's fit or keeping their cap situation fluid for potential mid-season adjustments. This is the kind of low-risk, high-upside signing that can make or break a team's playoff run if Thrun finds his game in Winnipeg's system.
