Jets Lock Up Bjorck for Big Future | Winnipeg News

The Winnipeg Jets just locked up their top young prospect, Viggo Bjorck, with a three-year, $1.075M deal — and he’s already making waves. A first-round pick (8th overall) in 2026, Bjorck exploded in Sweden’s J20 league at 16, scoring 74 points in 42 games, then added 15 points in 42 SHL games last season. On the world stage, he’s a gold medalist (WJC 2026, 9 points), silver (U18 WC), bronze (Hlinka Gretzky Cup), and even played for Sweden at the World Championship, finishing 4th in scoring with 6 points in 8 games. The Jets are clearly betting big on his offensive upside and clutch performance — and this signing signals their commitment to building through the pipeline.
