The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking for some goal-scoring to add to their bottom-six, and free agent forward Jack Roslovic has been at the top of their list.
Finding viable free agents to sign is not easy these days, especially for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have too many roster players and not enough cap space.
They are trying to trade guys like Nicholas Robertson, David Kampf, Ryan Reaves, and Calle Jarnkrok, but that has not worked out.
Meanwhile, they are waiting for one of these guys to get moved out before signing Jack Roslovic, a center who last played for the Carolina Hurricanes.
Jack Roslovic to the Toronto Maple Leafs?
The rumors around Roslovic and the Leafs have been intriguing. It seems like the interest is mutual, but nothing has happened yet, and fans are waiting patiently.
Well, today, we got an update on the Roslovic situation from James Mirtle of The Athletic. He revealed that Roslovic wants to sign, but the Leafs have all of the cards right now, and want to make sure they get a bargain deal.
I think this one is roughly 50-50 right now, but it sounds like the ball is in the Leafs' court here, in that he's interested in the opportunity. And I don't think it would cost a lot, in terms of dollars or term.
Roslovic is coming off a 22-goal, 39-point season, which is one of the best of his career. The 28-year-old can play center and would fit well on the third or fourth line.
Additionally, he was teammates with Auston Matthews back in their Team USA development days, so there would be some chemistry in the locker room.
Overall, this is going to be a fascinating situation to watch play out, and we hope the Leafs are able to make something happen.
Fans have been a bit disappointed with the lack of movement, but this promises to be something tangible.
