Suess signs with Jets

Minnesota State senior C.J. Suess on Sunday signed with the Winnipeg Jets, the team that drafted him in 2014.

The Jets announced that Suess signed a one-year entry-level contract worth $925,000. He also signed an amateur tryout contract with the AHL's Manitoba Moose for the remainder of this season.

Suess, 24, was drafted by the Jets in the fifth round (129th overall) in 2014. He finished his MSU career on Friday after leading the Mavericks with 43 points (22-21) in 40 games. He was WCHA Player of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year and league scoring champion. He's also a top-10 Hobey Baker finalist. 

Suess had 127 career points with the Mavericks, which is tied for fifth on the school's career Division I-era scoring list.

The Moose's next game is Monday night. Curious to see if Suess will be in the lineup.
