Player Discussion: Jack "hometown kid" Roslovic

[Fred Glover]

Not to be the contrarian but we saw this type of play in Columbus when he was playing in the last year of his previous contract
He got I believe a two year deal as a result of that. It’s for that reason I raise the question because in my mind we have seen him play this way before
either way I hope he continues playing this well as it will only benefit our local hoc heroes

I, for one, welcome Jack’s early season Top 6 masquerade and look forward to the trade stonks rising.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

I'll come to my opinion at the midway mark in the season about the 'new' Jack.

 

[CBJx614]

Jack moving to wing took a lot of pressure off of his shoulders and if he's truly bought in then it just allows him to just focus on his role and not have to worry so much. I'm sure he'll fall off at some point, but hopefully someone else will be on a hot streak by that point.

I can’t believe the mods found the thread
they are amazing

I think he’s always had the pure offensive ability to play as a “top 6 WINGER”, although him playing a bit lower in the lineup would be ideal.

The question is if he can keep his “intensity”, defensive work, and offensive production up, as consistency has always been probably his main concern/issue as a player, other than issues with his intensity and “awareness”, more so defensively, but, also offensively. IMO

Gaudreau is an interesting fit, as is Jenner.

I think he could work as a transition/finishing center with some different offensive and better defensive players.

The added pressure of now having Fantilli, Bemstrom starting to step up, and Voronkov waiting in the wings has put some pressure on him to perform. Good to see he's stepping up and playing to his potential ... but like everyone else, let's hope he makes it consistent.

This. Healthy competition in a team pushes all players to earn their spot. When Ros arrived to the Jackets he pretty much had a given spot in the lineup.

So far Pascal seems to have instilled the concept of earning your spot in a positive way. Play well and showcase that you are playing the system that he wants, and you get rewarded shortly. He has also shown that it works the other way, but he seems like a coach that makes sure that the players understand his decisions regarding the staring lineup.

I have a very positive feeling about his coaching style this far, but I understand that we have a very small sample size now. What I do know about him is that he is serious about developing his players in a constructive way.

 

[Cowumbus]

It’s good to see him playing better, but there is still a zero percent chance I’m re-signing him (unless he wants to make 2.5). He will go at the TDL to the highest bidder.

I can’t believe he finished the game, including at least one shift in OT, on a broken ankle. I know that it’s only once they take the boot off that it’s really apparent, but that’s still amazing.

I think it's safe to say Laine isn't moving back to center until this is resolved.

Not so much need right now, Fantilli can play top 6 center duties so now that we know that, Laine can be used as best fit.

Because we're short on wingers? We're not even using Bemstrom or Robinson, I don't think it's an issue.

The weakest spot in the lineup is actually at center (Sillinger) so I'd quite like Laine to be moved back to the middle.

I'd rather Laine stay at wing. It's where he belongs. I think it would weaken the wings if he moved. If he moves there's no one to take his place without blowing up Fantilli's line. That would be dumb to destroy their chemistry.

With Fantillis line potentially cementing itself as the #1 line, it could work...

Voronkov - Fantilli - Marchenko
Gaudreau - Laine - Chinakov
Texier - Jenner - Bemstrom
Robinson - Kuraly - Danforth

Not likely because they aren't going to send silly down, but take out Robinson and mix up the wings in the bottom 6 and it's not entirely terrible.

 

[Michigan Magic]

If we need a center, I'm sure we could Pinto for cheap! Hahaha!
Line him with Bean. Call it the Pinto beans line or Deuce and a half.
