The Winnipeg Jets have acquired top Buffalo Sabres prospect Isak Rosen in a trade that sent defensemen Luke Schenn and Logan Stanley to Buffalo. Rosen, a 2021 first-round pick, has been dominant in the AHL this year with 25 goals and 43 points in 37 games.

Why it matters

The Jets are looking to bolster their roster for a playoff push, and Rosen represents a high-upside young talent that could pay dividends down the line. The Sabres, meanwhile, continue their rebuild by adding two veteran defensemen in Schenn and Stanley.

The details

In the trade, the Jets also received a couple of draft picks and an expiring contract from the Sabres. But the centerpiece of the deal is Rosen, a 22-year-old Swedish right winger who was the 14th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft. Rosen has played 16 games in the NHL this season, recording 3 goals and 4 assists, but has been dominant in the AHL with Rochester, where he has 25 goals and 43 points in 37 games.

  • The trade was completed on March 6, 2026.
