Jets RFA Jack Roslovic Won’t Attend Camp Without New Contract, Seeking Trade

December 29, 2020 at 7:12 pm CDT | by Zach Leach 9 Comments

The Winnipeg Jets and restricted free agent Jack Roslovic have been unable to come to terms on a new contract and the young forward will not be in attendance when training camp opens as a result. Claude Lemieux, Roslovic’s agent, tells Mike McIntyre of The Winnipeg Free Press that Roslovic continues to wait for either a trade or a suitable contract offer. Without either, his season remains on pause.

Roslovic, 23, is coming off of a career season with 12 goals and 29 points, a top-six mark among Jets forwards on both counts. Yet, that hasn’t produced any more job security for Roslovic. The versatile forward continues to be penciled in for a bottom-six role, has been the long-time subject of trade talks, and has not received a long-term offer to his liking. For some time now, it has been reported that Roslovic has bought in to his own trade speculation and lack of an identifiable role and would prefer a change of scenery. TSN’s Pierre LeBrun even relays that a trade has been formally requested.

It is now up to GM Kevin Cheveldayoff to make the call on Roslovic’s future. He can trade the young forward or he can finally make an offer that Roslovic and his side feel is fair. Even for a promising player who can play center and wing and has proven his ability to score without much power play opportunity, Roslovic’s trade value should be low right now given the cap crunch climate and the publicized contract standoff. Considering the injury absence of Bryan Little and David Gustafsson as well, at least to begin the year, the Jets could use the depth, making a short-term resolution with Roslovic the best option unless an ideal trade can be found.

In the meantime, Roslovic remains at home in the U.S., which raises other issues. If and when a new deal is reached, Roslovic would need to travel to Winnipeg and then quarantine for seven days. That gives the Jets a week at most to get Roslovic under contract and through quarantine without him missing regular season games. Quarantine rules also impact the feasibility of a trade, especially the longer that Cheveldayoff waits to pull the trigger. One way or another, the Jets need to solve this situation as quickly as they can.

    He’s been a huge bust. Jets won’t get much for him either.

      Bozak???? No way a 23 yr old that scores as much as Bozak at 5 mil for only what 1 year left.

      And De La Rose, well sorry he’s a 4 th liner at best, will probably go on waivers at some point this year.

      Obviously bozak would have to come with money, a pick or a prospect, but with ros sitting out they are down a center, bozak is a center. I know bozak is over paid but, with ros holding out you get nothing. Better offers out there, sure, but bozak gives you a capable center who excels at the faceoff dot, can score alittle and is a good defensive center. Since his salary and upcoming free agency limits his trade value, the blues could throw in a prospect or non first 2 rounds draft pick or picks.
