The Winnipeg Jets have signed free-agent defenseman Derek Forbort to a one-year, $1-million contract, the team announced Sunday.
Forbort spent last season split between the Los Angeles Kings and the Calgary Flames. He appeared in 20 games and notched one assist while logging just under 18 minutes per contest.
The Jets have made defensive depth a priority this offseason. On top of signing Forbort, the club also brought back Dylan DeMelo, Nathan Beaulieu, and Luca Sbisa.
