The Winnipeg Jets have signed forward Mason Shaw to a one-year, $775,000 two-way contract.

The 26-year-old played his first season with the Jets organization this year, recording 17 goals and 37 points in 72 games with the Manitoba Moose in the AHL. The Moose's alternate captain led the team in points and finished second in goals. 

Shaw was a fourth-round pick (97th overall) to the Minnesota Wild in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. With the Wild, Shaw recorded eight goals and 20 points in 82 NHL games, but spent most of his tenure with the organization in the AHL with the Iowa Wild. 

Although Shaw is listed at just 5'10, he plays the game with a physical edge, willing to mix it up. He finished second on the Moose in penalty minutes, recording 114. His two-way game is solid for his size, and he's now a veteran AHL player who can be viewed as a positive voice in the dressing room for young players like Nikita Chibrikov, Brad Lambert, Brayden Yager, Colby Barlow and Elias Salomonsson. 

The Jets did not extend a qualifying offer to Shaw on Jun. 30, which allowed him to become an unrestricted free agent, but he and the Jets were able to agree on a contract anyway. Shaw will be in contention throughout the 2025-26 season to be called up to the NHL if the Jets run into injury issues.
