Confirmed Trade: [NYR/CBJ] Jack Roslovic (50% retained) for 2026 cond. 4th round pick

[Viqsi]

Shoulda kept him if all they could muster was a late 4th.

Must be doin the whole “culture change” thing

We probably weren't going to extend him in any case.

 

[Draiskull]

Best bang for buck deal this offseason.
Tarasenko being another.

 

[FrozenKing18]

Solid deal

This is for a 2026 4th people. This is a very good trade for the Rangers. He was a menace in the 2 games the teams played recently. He's got wheels too. Nothing to dislike about this one.

 

[ffh]

Guess the jets getting a 3rd for him was about right after all.

 

[cslebn]

Low risk high upside trade for the rangers and Columbus got value for someone they'd likely let fo this summer.

Call it a win win

woth a flier not bad at all.

 

[Uberpecker]

Seems like a move

It's definitely one of the moves in hockey history.

This is an absurd trade for Roslovic at 50%.

That is to say, a fleecing by NYR.

 

[Peltz]

He doesn’t have to be good defensively for this role. All he needs to do is crumble some adderall in Zibanejad’s Gatorade.

Adderall is a capsule not a tablet. He can simply open and pour.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Always been kind of a fascinating player to me. Every 5th or 6th game I watch of his I'm like wow is that Roslovic kid good, he's got a real future when he puts it together. Then for most of the others he's either invisible or straight up crap.

At 27 that's likely what he is at this point. Still a little surprised he's never cracked 50pts.
For a 4th @ 50% probably a worthwhile gamble for Drury. Guess the Columbus hometown boy couldn't make it stick for the Jackets.

By the way, you seriously shouldn't crumble adderall. They're in slow-release capsules for a reason.

I think this can be huge value to the Rangers, but if you watched Roslovic go through extended disappearing acts his whole career, you knew his trade value was always going to be low.

At 2mil AAV, I'd take the risk. Better hit or miss than miss or miss.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

This is a great trade for the Rangers. I wish the Avs had went for him instead of ryjo in the offseason.

 

[Xoggz22]

I'm sure it's covered here but this is a good low risk move by NYR, unless they expect more than what he really is. Jack's dealt with an ego issue throughout his career. Wanted so bad to be a center but unable to process the defensive responsibilities to show him to use his ability to transition. He's a great skater, has size and can handle the puck. He'll tease you with his skill setonly to be left disappointed when he forgets how to play the game. His move to the wing has improved his game and he's playing very well the last 6 weeks. The issue has always been doing it consistently. He had no future in Columbus so moving him made sense. He'll play high in your PK if needed. He's good at that. He'll tease you with his skill set and then you'll be pissed when he disappears for long stretches. He's a complementary piece that is most likely a 0.5ppg player with PK time.

 

[Black Tank]

This trade isn't really about Roslovic, it's about 50% retained and about trying another ingredient to change the Kreider-Zbad even strength chemistry. Wheeler, Kakko, Vesey and others as well all failed so now it's time to try another experiment. Roslovic doesn't have to do much, Zbad is strong defensively so there's no pressure on him to carry that load for that line and Kreider is going to be in front of the net no matter what so he's easy to predict.

He looked good in his debut on that line.
