Confirmed Signing with Link: [CBJ] Jack Roslovic re-signs with the Blue Jackets (2 years, $1.9M AAV)

They're held to the standards that their actions dictate. If you want to pretend that the details don't matter, that's your problem, not ours.

I thought Roslovic wasn't going to be a problem because he was local? I guess refusing to play for your team is just the more noble thing to do now.

So I understand clearly what you are saying. Roslovic, by not signing the contract offered by the Jets was disloyal?

My opinion is that he did the upright thing. He didn't like his situation so he decided to ask for a trade but waited until his contract had expired. He wouldn't be collecting a pay cheque while Winnipeg tried to accommodate his request.

Jack put his money where his mouth was. Good for him.

 

[Guttersniped]

How funny would it be if he was the best player in the deal.

Roslovic is the oldest player and also by far the least productive with the fewest games played so that’s seems very unlikely. Good luck to the home town kid though.

 

[Cleatus]

It is cool for them to get a hometown player (I'm sure that's very rare for Columbus). Wish him the best in his move and career there!

What does that even mean?

 

[ijuka]

Will be interesting to see the opinions of those who thought PLD was being disrespectful or immoral in asking for a trade. I'm sure they'll bring that same energy for Roslovic who just held out while demanding a trade.

Except, you know, Roslovic didn't sign a contract. Why should he play if he's not under contract?

 

[SteveHanson]

I could see Roslovic becoming a pretty solid 2C in CBJ. I think he is being overlooked in this swap.

Agreed, the Pens really wanted him

 

[stevo61]

Dont have huge hopes for Roslovic, probably see a decent 3rd liner but if he improves to 2nd line quality then that is obviously huge

 

[tntkid]

Roslovic never did anything special in wpg and he is lucky to get 30 points a season.
He disappears for long stretches.

It did not bother me to lose him from our roster and his trade value is next to nothing.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Can absolutely see Roslovic buying into Torts and becoming a legit 3rd line player. We shall see.

He think's hes a legit top 6 player.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

As a Sharks fan, I really wanted him too.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Jack just had no chance to crack our top 6
I really hope he does well.
Just no place for him on our roster.

 

[Viqsi]

What does that even mean?

In the context of this thread, it's just saying that I hold Roslovic and Dubois to different standards because Roslovic didn't start actively hindering the team on the ice and in the locker room or make any mystery of his intentions and/or reasons for those intentions like Dubois did, so while Dubois deserves the scorn he's getting (for having acted that way), I'm willing to give Roslovic a second chance (because he showed a bit more professionalism).

In that specific instance, it means "your content-free attempts to claim the last word are both juvenile and transparent as hell, kindly shut up and go away."

In Chevy's interview today, he alluded to the fact that Jack wanted to play center but the team did not think he was 3C material. Money wasn't an issue, it was usage. I'm guessing Jack was pretty sour about being damned to the 3RW spot with no hope to ever become that center, so I get why he sits. He'll be a 3C in his hometown, so kudos to him for making the right move, I guess.

Roslovic is delusional and thinks that he is better than he actually is.
A legend in his own mind.

Bottom 6 at best.

I would have like to see PoMo at least give him a chance at C If Jack thrives under Torts at the Center position I be pissed off at the Jets coaching staff

He got a chance as 2C in the play-ins with our injuries, he looked awful.

Watched the game yesterday and CBJ has no skill players left in the top6. Texier is pretty much the only one and he has 18 NHL points during his career.

Roslo could easily fit into the top6 skillwise.

I don’t disagree, but nothing he’s done so far to date says he’s a top 6 player.

Whelp — it didn’t take me long, even by HF standards, to find the worst take of the day. Congrats to you sunshine.

 

[BigZ65]

$2.5 in real dollars for the second season so his next QO will be $2.75 million....my early bet is that he doesn’t get qualified in 2023.

The problem in Winnipeg even when he had the chance to jump up due to injury is he couldn’t handle more than 4th line matchups well. If he has the puck he’s fine, it’s the other 95% of the game. Maybe Torts can work him into being NHL quality.

Congrats on what was obviously your first ever Jackets game. Dubois wasn’t even our most skilled guy in the top six. But thanks for playing.

He’ll get his chance, but he’ll have to earn a spot.
