WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets have lost four players to the open market on the opening day of NHL free agency.

Defenceman Brenden Dillon, goaltender Laurent Brossoit and forwards Tyler Toffoli and Sean Monahan — all unrestricted free agents — signed with other teams Monday.

Dillon inked a three-year, US$12-million contract with the New Jersey Devils.

The six-foot-four, 225-pound defenceman spent the last three seasons in Winnipeg. He played 77 games last season and recorded 20 points (eight goals, 12 assists) with a plus-20 rating.
