Winnipeg Jets re-sign forward Isak Rosén to two-year contract

The Winnipeg Jets have secured a key piece of their forward depth, re-signing pending restricted free agent Isak Rosén to a two-year contract extension. The deal, announced Tuesday, will keep the young forward with the team through the 2027-28 season.

Rosén's new contract carries an average annual value of $925,000. He was acquired by the Jets at the trade deadline earlier this year from the Buffalo Sabres in a trade that sent Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn to Buffalo. In 21 games with Winnipeg, Rosén registered three goals and finished the season with six markers in 38 total contests.

Despite the extension, Rosén will still be a restricted free agent when this new deal expires in two years. He is one of several players the Jets need to manage as restricted free agents, including Cole Perfetti, David Gustafsson, Jaret Anderson-Dolan, and Tyrel Bauer. Forward Rasmus Kupari, whose contract is also expiring, has already signed with HC Lugano in Switzerland.

The signing provides stability for the Jets' forward group as they prepare for the upcoming season, ensuring they retain a player who showed flashes of potential after his mid-season arrival.
