Jets Sign Isak Rosén to Two-Year Extension

Keeping him under team control through the 2028 offseason, the contract gives Winnipeg a low-cost, high-upside forward to compete for a regular NHL role.

Overview

  • The Winnipeg Jets announced on June 24, 2026 that they signed 23-year-old forward Isak Rosén to a two-year contract extension.
  • The deal is worth $1.85 million in total and carries an average annual value of $925,000 against the NHL salary cap.
  • Winnipeg acquired Rosén from the Buffalo Sabres at the March 6, 2026 trade deadline in a package that sent Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn to Buffalo and brought Jacob Bryson and draft picks to the Jets.
  • Rosén is a prolific AHL scorer with 87 goals and 185 points in 231 games for the Rochester Americans, but he has limited NHL production so far, recording six goals and about 10–11 points in roughly 37–38 games in 2025–26.
  • The extension preserves Winnipeg’s control over Rosén as a restricted free agent after the contract and positions him to compete with younger forwards for a steady roster spot while the club manages several other upcoming RFAs.
