Winnipeg Jets Sign Aaron Gagnon and Mark Flood

The Winnipeg Jets have announced that they have signed center Aaron Gagnon to a two-year contract and defenseman Mark Flood to a one-year contract. The financial terms of both deals were not disclosed. In 19 games last season with the Dallas Stars, Gagnon had two assists. He also appeared in 58 games with Texas of the AHL, scoring 14 goals and 22 assists for 36 points. Flood appeared in 63 games last season with Manitoba of the AHL, scoring 11 goals and 29 assists for 40 points. He last played in the NHL during the 2009-10 season with the New York Islanders. These are really just depth signings for the Jets, as both players will likely spend most of next season in the minors. However, Gagnon does have some offensive instincts and could see a little time with the team as an injury replacement.
