For the second straight day, the Winnipeg Jets got a deal done with one of their restricted free agents.

It will pay him $775,000 if he's in the NHL, but Bauer will likely end up back with the AHL's Manitoba Moose next season. He earned $850,000 per season on his previous three-year entry-level contract.

Forward Kevin Conley and defenceman Graham Sward are back with the Moose after seeing action last season, while they've also brought in newcomers Chase Yoder and Ethan Frisch. Conley, 28, scored three goals with three assists in 34 games in his first season in antlers. Sward, 21, is a former member of the WHL's Winnipeg Ice and only appeared in two games with the Moose in his first season as a professional. The 23-year-old Yoder is turning pro after playing the last five seasons for Providence College where the forward was their team captain his final two years. Frisch has played 125 career AHL games with the San Jose Barracuda over the past three seasons after attending the University of North Dakota. Parker Ford is the Jets last minor league player in need of a new contract, while Gabriel Vilardi and Dylan Samberg are also still restricted free agents.
