The Jets are talking about an extension with a foundational young player but still have progre s to makewith forwards Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor. Defenseman Josh Morri sey told the on Wednesday he is discu sing a contract extension with the Jets. "I've always maintained I want to be a Jet and I want to play here in Winnipeg. I'd love to get something done," Morri Pierre Larouche Jersey sey said. "As a player, you just want to go through the proce s and handle it the right way. But I'd love to get something done and I'd love to play here throughout my career. We'll see what happens." Morri sey is in the final season of a two-year, $6.3 million deal he signed with Winnipeg Raivis Ansons Jersey last offseason. He was a restricted free agent and appeared to be a lock to mi s a good amount of camp as he waited for a deal, but one day after Winnipeg played its first preseason game, Morri sey signed his new contract. He scored six goals and added 25 a sists last season. He would be a restricted free agent again in 2020 if he were not to sign an extension. Morri sey, 24, understands the position Laine and Connor are in and is hopeful the team can come to agreements with both players. "Obviously, we want both those guys here; obviously, they're amazing players," he said. "I understand it's just kind of the busine s of things, until there's a new rule in place or something like that, it's probably what's Tanner Howe Jersey going to happen each year." Morri sey isn't a fan of the NHL's currentRFA system but acknowledges the players have to deal with it for now. "It's just sort of the way things seem to be working right now. I don' Jean-sabastien Dea Jersey t think anyone loves that it is the way it is. I went through it myself. With the CBA and the rules the way they are, it's just something that seems to happen," Morri sey said. "It's part of the game at the moment right now. Until there's a change that would benefit both sides, it is the way it is." The NHL's RFA system under the current CBA affects many players including stars such Alex Kovalev Jersey as Avalanche forward Mikko Rantanen and Maple Leafs winger Mitch Marner. The current CBA runs through 2020. The NHL announced it would not void the deal last week. The NHLPA has until Sept. 15 to decide whether it wants to exercise a similar option. The RFA system would likely be a point of discu sion as multiple star players remain unsigned.
