Rosen has been a star this season for AHL Rochester, where he has scored 25 goals with 18 assists (43 points) in 37 games.
"Isak Rosen, acquired by the Jets, was my No. 4 Sabres prospect in my upcoming prospect pool rankings," writes The Athletic's Scott Wheeler . He's a quick, knifing winger with an NHL release who risked becoming a bit of a AAAAer in Buffalo's depth chart. Will have more of an opportunity in Winnipeg to become a 20-goal PP2 middle-six secondary skill type."
He's definitely the kind of player who can grow into a standout with increased opportunity in Winnipeg.
For two defensemen that the Jets didn't really need, Rosen is a great guy to get coming back.
