EDGE Analysis

Lipon will test the waters of European hockey for the first time in his career. The 27-year-old winger hasn't appeared in an NHL game for Winnipeg since 2015-16 when he logged nine games for the team. Lipon was set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and may have struggled to secure more than an AHL-only offer.
