The Winnipeg Jets have completed a trade with the Buffalo Sabres, acquiring defenceman Jacob Bryson, forward Isak Rosén, and two draft picks.

The Jets announced Thursday night that Bryson and Rosén are joining the club along with Buffalo’s second-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft and a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.

In exchange, Winnipeg is sending defencemen Luke Schenn and Logan Stanley to Buffalo. The Jets are also retaining 50 per cent of Schenn’s contract as part of the trade.

The conditional fourth-round pick will be the better of the Sabres’ own fourth-round selection or the Edmonton Oilers’ fourth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.
