The Jets are solidifying their roster ahead of a massive 2025/26 campaign, and now, they've officially sent down four of their top prospects.

Last season was a very successful one for the Winnipeg Jets, and coming into the new season, there's some very high expectations for a team that finished No. 1 in the Western Conference in 2024/25.
In the summer, the team lost Nikolaj Ehlers in free agency to the Carolina Hurricanes, and this season, it's likely that they'll rely on some of their younger names to step up and make an impact.

Jets re-assign four young prospects to the Manitoba Moose

After making some waiver moves in recent days, the Winnipeg Jets have now made some more moves, sending four of their top prospects (Brayden Yager, Colby Barlow, Thomas Milic and Elias Salomonsson) to the Manitoba Moose.
Coming into camp, there was a hope that either Barlow or Yager would make a genuine push for a roster spot ahead of opening night, but now, the Jets have seemingly made the decision that all four still need some more time down in the American Hockey League.
Now, their roster will look very much the same as it did a season ago beyond a few changes, with the organization hoping that some of their Moose stars will take the leap and put some pressure on some of their veterans when the 2025/26 season gets going.
Ultimately though, this is a team that's looking to compete for a Stanley Cup, and to do that, you need plenty of veterans, so don't be surprised if this is a Jets team that's a very aggressive buyer once more at the trade deadline.
