In four seasons with the Petes, Chisholm racked up 22 goals and 120 assists for a total of 142 points. He was originally picked by the Jets in the fifth round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, 150th overall.<\/p>\n<p>He served as an assistant captain for Peterborough in 2018-19 while also enjoying his best season to date. Chisholm broke the ten-goal barrier for the first time in his OHL career and also finished above a point-per-game pace, notching 13 goals and 56 assists for 69 points in only 59 games.<\/p>\n<p>The entry-level contract is a two-way deal, meaning his salary will only be $70,000 per season at minor league levels. The cost breakdown is as follows, via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capfriendly.com\/players\/declan-chisholm\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CapFriendly<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>2020-21: $700,000 NHL salary, $75,000 signing bonus<\/p>\n<p>2021-22: $750,000 NHL salary, $85,000 signing bonus<\/p>\n<p>2022-23: $750,000 NHL salary, $85,000 signing bonus<\/p>\n<p>Chisholm is also eligible for $15,000 of performance bonuses in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 season, totalling $30,000 of potential performance bonuses.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means for the Future<\/h3>\n<p>Chisholm has been a fixture on the blueline for years in Peterborough, but don&#8217;t expect him to immediately step in at the NHL level. Despite Winnipeg&#8217;s well-documented defensive shortcomings this year, Chisholm will need time to iron out his two-way game. He&#8217;ll most likely spend next season with the AHL&#8217;s Manitoba Moose.<\/p>\n<p>However, Chisholm is quickly looking like a late-round steal for the Jets as his offensive game has blossomed in recent years. He certainly has shown flashes of potential, and he&#8217;ll likely be seen in the NHL at some point in his hockey career.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"n0wqxtWCQdB7z15JWft58Q\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1188350481\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'n0wqxtWCQdB7z15JWft58Q',sig:'fZTEOl_vfYDRdKypTh7AzkrM7ikNtjKas7g8DFKiC_k=',w:'594px',h:'395px',items:'1188350481',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Winnipeg Jets signed prospect defenceman\u00a0Declan Chisholm to a three-year contract this morning.
