Meanwhile, the Jets lost forward C.J. Suess to the San Jose Sharks, who signed him to a one-year, two-way deal. Suess was drafted by the Jets in the fifth round of the 2014 draft and ended up playing 166 games with the Manitoba Moose over five seasons. Last season was the most productive for Suess in a Moose uniform, as he picked up 14 goals and 28 points in 46 games. He also suited up for the Jets for three games.
