After 52 games in a Jets jersey Tanner Pearson will have a new hockey home after he was dealt to the Sabres on NHL Trade Deadline day for a 2026 7th round pick making it the second time in two days that the two teams have made a deal.

He was here in downtown Winnipeg skating with the team at the optional practice but his time here is over. He had seven goals and six assists this season.

First to report the news was Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
