In the lead-up to the 2026-27 hockey season, we’re diving into the WHL prospect pool for every NHL team. To be included in this list, a player must be recently drafted, signed to an NHL contract, or meet the NHL’s criteria for rookie status. We're closing out the 2026 NHL Prospect Watch with the fully-loaded Winnipeg Jets. Tyrel Bauer What heavyweight defenceman Tyrel Bauer lacks in teeth, he more than makes up for in heart. The 24-year-old has continued to make an impact on and off the ice in Manitoba in his fourth season of AHL hockey. The 6-foot-3, 207-pound blueliner netted five points (1G-4A), a +11 rating and 110 penalty minutes in 52 matches with the Manitoba Moose in 2025-26.

In the lead-up to the 2026-27 hockey season, we’re diving into the WHL prospect pool for every NHL team. To be included in this list, a player must be recently drafted, signed to an NHL contract, or meet the NHL’s criteria for rookie status. Time to 'wash' up on the Capital's young guns!
