The Jets will also retain 50 per cent of Schenn\u2019s salary-cap hit of US $2.75 million.<\/p>\n
Rosen looks like the centrepiece of the deal, as a player who was chosen 14th overall by the Sabres in the 2021 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s a three-time 20-plus goal scorer with the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League and has three goals and eight points in 31 NHL games.<\/p>\n
Both Stanley and Schenn were among the 10 pending unrestricted free agents on the active roster and speculation was high that they would be on the move.<\/p>\n
Stanley and Schenn were both scratched on Thursday for roster related reasons before the Jets earned a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.<\/p>\n
The Jets and Stanley were engaged this week in contract negotiations, but the two sides were never close on a number that would have extended his time here.<\/p>\n
Stanley, 27, was chosen 18th overall by the Jets in the 2016 NHL Draft and he\u2019s already produced career-highs in goals (nine) and points (19) in 59 games this season.<\/p>\n

Barnes)<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s where the emotional side, the relationship side starts to come out. Now you have to say goodbye to a good friend, someone you\u2019ve gone to work with and battled with over the years,\u201d Jets captain Adam Lowry said after the morning skate. \u201cIt is a challenging time, obviously. From a fan aspect it\u2019s super exciting, you\u2019re hoping your team adds. You\u2019re seeing all the player movement around the league. From a personal side it\u2019s tough. You have guys uprooting their families. There\u2019s a lot of things that go on behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n Schenn, who was acquired last March for second and fourth round picks, had one goal and seven points in 46 games with the Jets this season.<\/p>\n The right-handed shooting blue-liner has two Stanley Cups on his resume and would bring ample experience and hard-nosed play to a team in Buffalo that hasn\u2019t made the playoffs since 2010.<\/p>\n The Jets, who have collected points in five consecutive games coming out of the Olympic break (3-0-2), are now seven points behind the Seattle Kraken in the chase for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n Bracing for what was on the horizon hasn\u2019t been easy for the Jets, who haven\u2019t been in selling mode for quite some time.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not fun. That\u2019s the business,\u201d said Jets centre Mark Scheifele. \u201cObviously, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve been through that in a long time. Something I had to do was refocus before the game.\u201d<\/p>\n There will be a sense of relief once the deadline passes and the Jets know who will be sticking around.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t The Jets will retain 50 per cent of Luke Schenn\u2019s salary of US $2.75 million.

\u201cI mean, listen, it\u2019s hard,\u201d said Jets forward Gustav Nyquist, who scored his first goal of the season on Thursday. \u201cI\u2019ve been through it now three times that I\u2019ve been traded. This week is tough. You want to be on the team, or where you\u2019re looking to add people, and it\u2019s part of the business.\u201d<\/p>\n The Jets, who are 25-26-10, are back in action on Saturday as they continue an eight-game homestand against the Vancouver Canucks.<\/p>\n winnipegfreepress.com\/kenwiebe<\/p>\n \n\t\tWinnipeg Free Press | Newsletter\n\t<\/p>\n \t\t\tThe Warm-Up<\/p>\n Winnipeg Jets Game Days<\/p>\n On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions.
