Yeah, the Roz trade has worked out pretty well for us, and that's even before one considers us getting Laine thrown in for a 3rd.
Confirmed Signing with Link: [CBJ] Jack Roslovic re-signs with the Blue Jackets (2 years, $1.9M AAV)

- Start date
I’ve always like Roslovic. Most Jets fans loved bashing him. I never understood why Maurice never gave him a shot at 2C...

Is Roslovic's line consistently getting hemmed in their own zone and he's just on a PDO/shooting percentage heater or are they consistently carrying the play? I just ask because looking at his stats his takeaways per 60 are down and his turnover per 60 are up.
With the Jets he never managed to carry the play and didn't convert on opportunities like it seems he is right now. His shooting percentage over the past 3 seasons averages around 10% but he's at over 23% at the moment. 2 years ago he was around 6-7% on the season. Obviously not sustainable but super fun while it lasts.
We got each other out of a pretty tight bind so I hope it works out for both of us. Roslovic's success is helping to gloss over Laine's issues at the moment. PLD's just coming out of quarantine and you can see it starting to come back. We weren't going to get a better player than PLD for Laine and you guys didn't get better than Laine for PLD. Sending Roslovic home just made too much sense to make sure we won the bidding war. With any luck we'll see each other in the playoffs.

I love Jack but not sure it’s necessarily a “steal” from the Jets. He may never have produced there. Us Jackets fans can understand that when we look at William Karlson. People say we got robbed in the expansion draft, but Wild Bill wasn’t that guy for us and needed a change of scenery to become him. The way these things go sometimes. It’s just nice to be on the good side of that for a change.

If he continues this pace? Which would make him about a 95 point scorer? Well then he will be getting 9M+.

Yup. Although I initially had more sour thoughts on him when leaving, I always knew whatever he may amount to in Columbus is not a linear progression of where he would have gone while in Winnipeg. Some players truly need a different spot to achieve their potential. And he seems motivated there. Hope he stays motivated and don't worry, Patty will get rolling soon.

Last night they were actually carrying play and spending a lot of time in the opponent's zone.
Nice! That's great for Jack. I'm happy for him. Hopefully they can keep that up. If they do you may have won the trade in a landslide.
A lot hinges on how long Dubois is a Jet for, but the early returns are looking good for the Jackets. I can't see Roslovic ever leaving even if Laine ultimately does.

2 is better than one
I love the current state of player evaluation. Watch the games. You will see that he's carrying the play and making things happen.
I don't have time to watch Blue Jackets games... which is why I asked the people that do what's actually happening. He had specific issues in his game with the Jets. His stats look like those issues are actually worse in Columbus but he's putting up points based on an unsustainable shooting %. The Assist numbers per 60 are identical to what he did with the Jets.
Sounds like he's carrying the play and making things happen. That's great. I was just asking if the underlying numbers reflected what was happening on the ice or not. Sounds like not.

Probably a mixture of the two. When you even just look at his goals, 2 of them were with a wide open net (second goal vs Chicago last night) or a completely uncovered high danger shot in the slot about 10-12 feet out (1st goal as a Blue Jacket)
Then the other two goals were a highlight reel goal vs Carolina and a PP goal one timer from the top of the circle vs Chicago. Roslovics line had some looks last night, but Chicago is still a team that bleeds high danger shots and chances against, also with Murphy out as their best defensive dman, so take what you will from that.
It’s really early to jump to those conclusions. I am very interested to see how Laine’s contract works out this offseason.

I take it you didn't get much attention as a kid that you need to find it here lol.
He is playing well, no doubt.

Was honest question, who needs to bump themselves every few games? lol. I'm not wrong, I said he was skilled. You just look silly posting after three games. I've always been a fan of him. Doubtful he keeps this pace though. There was no reason for Chevy to include him in the deal though, was great pickup from Columbus, buy low on him.

I don't know if you noticed, but this is a Jack Roslovic thread. There are new posts about him in here after every game.

Okay thanks, thought this was pat yourself on the back thread, that's the impression I got.

Yea, that's what the stats bear out so far. He needs to work on his defensive game though. They are pretty much about even when he's on the ice as per xG%.

The Jets did play him at center. I would argue they didn't do it enough but his worst games were when he played center for us. His best production came when he was playing RW. He had a lot of time in the top 6 with injuries last year and a bit and never found a really consistent level to his game. He got to play with a lot of really good players. I do wish they would have played him a bit more with Connor as those two had tons of chemistry together but Kyle was stapled to Scheif and Wheeler for the most part.
They even used Wheeler as a center at times (usually when Scheifele was hurt) instead of Roslovic. I don't think he had the coaches confidence in his defensive game. It's too bad but hopefully it all works out for the best for all the players and both teams.
The nice thing about trading with an eastern team is we don't have that much interaction in a normal year so I don't have to hope for their failure like I would with a Western team that affects the Jets playoff positioning.
