Jets' Mark Scheifele: Inks max contract with Winnipeg

Scheifele finalized an eight-year, $49 million deal with the Jets on Friday.

Analysis:

Scheifele's new deal carries an average annual value of $6.125 million and locks him in until he turns 31 years old. The center has increased his point production every season on his way to another career high (61) during the 2015-16 campaign. In addition to being lights out at even strength, the 23-year-old notched seven goals and four helpers with the man advantage. If Scheifele is available, especially in dynasty leagues, fantasy owners will want to seriously consider snatching him up early.
