The Winnipeg Jets bolstered their forward depth - whether it be at the NHL or AHL level - by signing Matt Halischuk to a one-year, two-way deal on Thursday.

The contract pays him $650K at the NHL level and $250K in the AHL level, according to Ed Tait of the Winnipeg Free Press.

The 25-year-old played in 36 games with the Nashville Predators this past season, collecting 11 points. The 2011-12 campaign was the best of his NHL career, as he scored 28 points - more than the rest of his career, combined - in 73 games for the Preds.

Predators blog On the Forecheck points out that his nickname is “Hustlechuk” and referenced “A Clockwork Orange,” in reviewing his last season, so that should provide you with all the Halischuk-related entertainment one could reasonably ask for.
