Thrun signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Jets on Thursday, per Murat Ates of The Athletic.
Thrun had five goals, 23 points and 37 PIM in 55 regular-season appearances with AHL Toronto. He also had two goals and nine points in 24 playoff outings with the Marlies en route to winning the Calder Cup. At the NHL level, the 25-year-old has accumulated five goals, 25 points and 46 PIM in 123 career regular-season appearances. Thrun will enter training camp with a genuine shot of making Winnipeg's Opening Night roster.

Jets' Mario Ferraro: Heading to Winnipeg
Rotowire
Ferraro signed a three-year, $12 million contract with the Jets on Wednesday, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports.
Ferraro will bolster the Jets' blue line in a big way as a shutdown defender. The 27-year-old put up career highs in goals (seven) and points (23) in 82 regular-season games with the Sharks in 2025-26. He's also logged at least 125 blocked shots in five straight years and at least 120 hits in each of his seven campaigns. Keep an eye on Ferraro in banger leagues, as he should be a candidate for top-four minutes in Winnipeg.

Jets' Noah Gregor: Inks deal with Winnipeg
Rotowire
Gregor signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Jets on Wednesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Gregor made 37 appearances for the Panthers during the 2025-26 campaign, racking up four goals, five assists, 37 hits, 26 PIM and 11 blocked shots while averaging 9:34 of ice time. He'll attempt to carve out a role for himself in Winnipeg, but he could spend time in the AHL in 2026-27.

Jets' Stuart Skinner: Heading north
Rotowire
Skinner signed a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Jets on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Skinner had a 23-17-9 record, 2.92 GAA and .888 save percentage in 50 regular-season outings between Edmonton and Pittsburgh in 2025-26. It was his second straight regular season with a save percentage below .900. For now, Skinner projects to be Winnipeg's No. 2 netminder behind Connor Hellebuyck. However, if Hellebuyck gets traded this summer, Skinner would probably begin 2026-27 as Winnipeg's starting goaltender.

Jets' Jack St. Ivany: Flipped in player swap
Rotowire
St. Ivany was traded to the Jets from the Penguins on Monday in exchange for David Gustafsson.
St. Ivany put up decent numbers in limited opportunities for the Penguins in 2025-26, tallying seven assists in 20 regular-season games. The defenseman likely faced an uphill battle in securing minutes with the Penguins, and while he will still need to put together a strong camp, his path to minutes is likely a little easier with his new club.

Jets' Samuel Hrenak: Round 3 pick of Jets
Rotowire
Hrenak was the 71st overall pick by Winnipeg in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
The run on goaltenders continues, as Hrenak becomes the third netminder selected in the first seven picks of Round 3. Hrenak began last season in his native Slovakia before joining USHL Fargo in February. He went 7-1-1 with a 2.20 GAA and .918 save percentage for the Force, in addition to starring for his country at the World U18. At 6-foot-3 and nearly 200 pounds, Hrenak definitely earned some brownie points with scouts by coming over to North America late in the year. He's a solid depth addition for the Winnipeg system.
Jets' Viggo Bjorck: Dog on bone drafted eighth overall
Rotowire
Bjorck was the eighth overall pick by Winnipeg in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Friday.
Bjorck is an undersized dynamo at center who plays like he has the puck on a string. His compete is off the charts, and his two-way play already has coaches depending on him in every situation. This guy commands the ice. Sure, 5-foot-9 elite, play-driving pivots are few and far between. But guys like Logan Stankoven and Brayden Point not only survive but thrive, and Bjorck has been compared to both. He has it all -- skill, smarts, speed, compete, two-way acumen -- and he's already proven himself against men. This season, Bjorck rose to center the first line on his SHL team, and he was named one of Sweden's top-three players at the most recent World Championship (eight games; one goal, five assists). He's the second-best pivot in the 2026 class and could be Winnipeg's second-line pivot for a long time.

Jets' Nikita Chibrikov: Cleared for offseason training
Rotowire
Chibrikov (abdomen) is back to full training ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports Friday.
Chibrikov failed to register a point in 11 NHL games this year while averaging 9:11 of ice time. The 2021 second-round pick was slightly more productive in the minors, recording six goals and 10 assists in 53 regular-season tilts. Given his offensive limitations, Chibrikov could face an uphill battle in making the team out of training camp.

Jets' Isak Rosen: Agrees to two-year extension
Rotowire
Rosen signed a two-year, $1.85 million contract with the Jets on Wednesday.
Rosen had six goals, 10 points, 35 shots, 17 hits and 20 blocks in 37 regular-season appearances between Buffalo and Winnipeg in 2025-26. He also recorded 25 goals and 43 points in 37 regular-season outings with AHL Rochester. The 23-year-old will be in the mix for a middle-six spot on Winnipeg's Opening Day roster.

Jets' Isaac Poulter: Inks one-year extension
Rotowire
Poulter signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Jets on Thursday.
Poulter had a 2.76 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 43 regular-season outings with ECHL Norfolk in 2025-26. He also had a 2.83 GAA and an .885 save percentage in three regular-season appearances with AHL Manitoba. The 24-year-old will likely spend the 2026-27 campaign in the minors.

Jets' Walker Duehr: Inks two-year contract
Rotowire
Duehr signed a two-year, two-way contract extension with Winnipeg on Monday.
The deal carries an average annual value of $875,000 in the NHL. Duehr spent most of the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Manitoba, picking up 17 goals and 34 points in 62 regular-season games before adding one goal and two assists in seven playoff outings. The 28-year-old also appeared in three NHL contests for Winnipeg in March, but he didn't reach the scoresheet while posting two shots on net, two blocked shots and 10 hits.
Jets' Domenic DiVincentiis: Earns shutout for Moose
Rotowire
DiVincentiis recorded a 39-save shutout in AHL Manitoba's 1-0 win over Grand Rapids in Game 1 on Saturday.
DiVincentiis helped the Moose get off to a surprisingly strong start in their Central Division semifinals series. He's allowed just two goals on 89 shots over three playoff contests so far this year. That comes after a relatively unimpressive regular season in which he had a 13-16-2 record with a 3.03 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 34 appearances. DiVincentiis appears to have the edge over Thomas Milic for starts during Manitoba's postseason run.

Jets' Elias Salomonsson: Undergoes shoulder surgery
Rotowire
Salomonsson underwent shoulder surgery Thursday and is expected to be out for 5-6 months, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
Salomonsson had a goal and five points in 32 outings with Winnipeg as well as a goal and nine points in 29 appearances with AHL Manitoba in the 2025-26 regular season. He also had an assist in two playoff outings with Manitoba this year. The 21-year-old defenseman might have been in the mix to make the 2026-27 Opening Night roster with Winnipeg if he had entered training camp healthy. However, Salomonsson is now likely to still be recovering from his surgery when training camp begins, which will limit his opportunities to compete for a roster spot.

Jets' Nikita Chibrikov: Undergoes core muscle surgery
Rotowire
Chibrikov had core muscle surgery recently and will be out 6-8 weeks, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports Thursday.
Chibrikov's recovery timeline shouldn't impact his availability for the start of training camp in the fall, but it does mean he won't be an option for AHL Manitoba during the Calder Cup playoffs. In 11 NHL games this year, the 23-year-old winger failed to register a point, and his 16 points in 53 minor-league tilts don't signal much in the way of offensive upside.

Jets' Kevin He: Heads to AHL
Rotowire
He was transferred from OHL Flint to AHL Manitoba on Thursday.
He had 39 goals and 77 points in 60 regular-season OHL outings between Niagara and Flint in 2025-26. The 19-year-old was selected by Winnipeg with the No. 109 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft.

Jets' Elias Salomonsson: Heads to AHL
Rotowire
Salomonsson (concussion) was reassigned to AHL Manitoba on Wednesday.
Salomonsson was in the concussion protocol, but this move suggests that he's been cleared medically. The 21-year-old had a goal and five points across 32 outings with Winnipeg in 2025-26.
