Jets Buyout Wheeler
Blake Wheeler has spent most of his career with the Winnipeg Jets organization. He joined them back in 2010 when they were still the Atlanta Thrashers and has been with them through thick and thin.
However, his time with the Jets will end early and abruptly with them buying out the final year of his $8.25 million contract.
They will be paying him $5.5 million over the course of the next two years having a total of $2.75 million.
Wheeler is coming off a 55 point season and will likely garner a lot of interest on the free agency market.
