Rumor: Roslovic trade

[MardyBum]

Schmidt ended up going for a 2022 3rd rounder. Nuts eh?

Guess he really railed em with the NTC.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

I cant imagine teams didn't offer more than that?

He had a NTC with a 10 team list but yeah the return still seems low. He probably chose mostly teams with no cap space.

The Jets and Rangers have a lot of history trading with each other be interesting to see if they try to make a deal.

The Rangers don't have what we need.

 

[jgimp]

Sounds like they need some Rasmus Ristolainen in their life

Yeah, but we also said we needed defence...

 

[boredmale]

The Rangers don't have what we need.

Strome for Roslovic? Gives Rangers cap relief and a center to replace Strome

I see why that helps the rangers, but still wondering how it helps the jets

I forgot they traded for Stastny and signed Nate Thompson

 

[BatVader]

How about Roslovic for Cernak +
Would Tampa be interested?

Or would Tampa be willing to move Cernak + Raddysh



just bored and trying to relieve it

 

[jrs]

Keep Weegar, send Jets Ekblad

 

[jaric1862]

Does Roslovic have much experience playing center at the NHL level?

 

[RangersFan1994]

Buchnevich to Jets for Roslovic and Vesalainen

Buchnevich to Jets for Roslovic and Vesalainen

And this help jets in what way?

 

[tbcwpg]

If Roslovic is traded, it's likely to be for defensive help, so the proposals with forwards going back don't make much sense for Winnipeg.

Is he worth more than a third pairing defenseman today? I could see a swap for a similarly struggling d prospect but not clear who that would be?

 

[YotesFan47]

What would the ask be from Arizona? Would Oesterle work? Plays both sides and can play fine on the lower pairs.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Would like to give him a shot in CGY. Don't really know what would be interesting for the Jets. Kylington maybe? Another 2015 draftee who is looking for a new deal and hasn't really found a regular role with the team.

Probably not, the Jets would be looking to move Roslovic for some 2nd pairing help, maybe adding a bit to get it. Oesterle isn't really any better than what the Jets already have.

Roslovic has a regular role with the team, he just wants a greater one. I'd think the Jets would like someone a little more established, unless they think Kylington is a surefire NHL mainstay for his career.

Roslovic isn't a struggling prospect, he's a third liner with upside. The Jets might trade him because he wants out seeing as the chances of him beating out any of Wheeler, Laine, Connor or Ehlers for a top 6 spot is unlikely. I'd say his value is probably similar aged NHL D with second pair upside. Maybe a 4/5 with a decent contract.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

So Roslovic is supposed to be a centre. Has he ever played the position with Winnipeg?

 

[tbcwpg]

He's not struggling, he's just playing wing behind Connor, Wheeler, Laine and Ehlers. He feels he's a top 6 guy.

 

[ffh]

He’s not a top 6 player and doesn’t play like a bottom 6 player. He won’t return much if he’s traded.

 

[Pongs21]

He’s not a top 6 player and doesn’t play like a bottom 6 player. He won’t return much if he’s traded.

He's at worst a 3rd liner with top 6 upside being blocked on the wing by Ehlers, Connor, Laine and Wheeler. That's not his fault. We aren't getting rid of him for mid round picks or a cap dump. He has some value and won't be traded for the sake of getting traded. Ghost or Weegar make sense. A lateral move that fills a need is probably what's being looked at.

 

[fmrdh]

He's a good player, high skill level.

I was wondering about a Rosolovic and Dermott (LD) or Holl (RD) trade between the Jets and Leafs. Not sure who comes out on top which in my mind made it at least worth a discussion.
