The Jets have signed one of their draft picks from last year, announcing<\/a> that they\u2019ve inked defenseman Alfons Freij<\/a> to a three-year, entry-level deal.\u00a0 The agreement will carry an AAV of $975K at the NHL level.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old was the fifth selection in the second round last June, going 37th overall following a strong season in Sweden\u2019s junior system.\u00a0 Freij predominantly played at the Under-20 level with Vaxjo and fared well offensively, notching 14 goals and 19 assists in 40 games.\u00a0 He also played in five playoff games with Vaxjo\u2019s Under-20 and Under-18 levels.<\/p>\n

This season, Freij moved up a level, going to Sweden\u2019s second-tier professional league, the Allsvenskan, where he played with IF Bjorkloven.\u00a0 In 29 games with them, he had two goals and six assists while adding five points in five games with Bjorkloven\u2019s Under-20 team as well.<\/p>\n

Back in April, Freij signed a two-year deal with SHL Timra, positioning himself to be tested at a higher level once again next season.\u00a0 This contract shouldn\u2019t change that, as it\u2019s quite likely that he will be loaned back overseas for 2025-26.\u00a0 Assuming that happens, Freij\u2019s contract is eligible to slide and, in that case, he\u2019d still have three years left on his deal at this time next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jets have signed one of their draft picks from last year, announcing that they\u2019ve inked defenseman Alfons…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":130374,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2051],"tags":[31178,7,226,1917,255,2321,2097,6,3571,4474],"class_list":{"0":"post-130373","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-jets","8":"tag-alfons-freij","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-jets","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-jets","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkjets","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-transactions","17":"tag-winnipeg-jets"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114684144773243394","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130373\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
