CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Quote Columbus Blue Jackets beat man Aaron Portzline reported that Jack Roslovic has fired his agent of over six years for reasons that sound like player advocacy: Aaron Portzline ✔@Aportzline #NHLJets C Jack Roslovic, a Columbus native, has fired his Columbus-based agent Ken Robinson, who has represented him for more than six years. Roslovic asked Winnipeg for a trade at least once last season, sources told The Athletic, because of a lack of role/playing time. 1/2 176 4:21 PM - Jun 5, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 113 people are talking about this Aaron Portzline ✔@Aportzline Roslovic, 22, was a first-round draft pick (No. 25 overall) in 2015. He totaled 9-15-24 in 77 games, but played only 9:44 (fourth line) per game despite playing on the power play. He’s now with agent Claude Lemieux and 4SPORTS Team. 2/2 #NHLJets 56 4:22 PM - Jun 5, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 39 people are talking about this Interestingly enough, he hired former teammate Brendan Lemieux’s father Claude as his new agent. Roslovic has one more year on his entry-level deal before he becomes a restricted free agent without arbitration rights. It makes sense that he would want to play on a line higher than the fourth line so he can make more money. He was a guy I had my eyes on for a while since the year he was taken after Brock Boeser. Kid has slick hands and is a very good skater. If true, he would be an ideal fit alongside Bo Horvat. Good thing is that Jack Roslovic can play centre and wing. For whatever reason Winnipeg tried to bury him underneath their depth, but kid seems like he has had enough. Too bad considering he would've been Kevin Hayes' replacement as the 2nd line center likely. Only 22, and one year left on his ELC, he should be a guy to target and may not be at the same level of demand like other established top six forwards. Quote SCOUTING REPORT Oozes offensive ability and is a natural point producer. Is very quick and boasts good acceleration. Has some versatility in his game. Owns a projectable 6-1 frame, so he should be able to hold his own in physical contests in the National Hockey League. Needs to fill out his frame in order to maximize output at the highest level. Could also stand to shoot the puck more, since his first instinct is to pass, especially against top defenders in the NHL. Needs to play with greater consistency in all areas. Long Range Potential: Talented playmaker with upside. Plays the middle on the PP for the 1-3-1 set up. Could be the missing link on the first unit powerplay for that bumper position between Brock and Petey. Wonder what the cost would be to get him. Surely Winnipeg would like a Solid return.

Kobayashi Maru Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Roslovic would be a decent pickup but not for Joulevi. We are sleeping on the stability Joulevi will provide is on D as early as next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.I.A.H.N Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Realistically, other teams will be offering players and picks as well......thankfully Winnipeg is close to the cap, when all is said and done this summer, so they will not be taking cap back...... Roslovic for 2021 1st and Lind Fair offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Joulevi would be a sweet trade... for Winnipeg. Can’t believe how undervalued one of the biggest D prospects the Canucks have ever had is in these parts. I always see people just throwing him away in their arm GM proposals.

Twilight Sparkle Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Not surprised at all. I don't think he was ever going to be a full time guy on that team. He has the tools to be in a more prominent role but the jets only ever needed him as a warm body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy OJ is offered because he has value. This isn't some whatever year NHL game where you can just substitute quality with quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a long way from playoff contention. The guy is from Columbus. Maybe he just wants a trade to Columbus and play in his hometown? Make enquiries sure. But I would never assume everyone wants to play here. Yet. Maybe in a season or two that might change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what this has to do with an NHL game but why would you propose to trade a top prospect for a player that is going to be further down the depth chart down hence less value then you are giving the other team. It makes 0 sense. Dmen in general are worth more than forwards especially when they a pencilled into a future top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo5789 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 The only realistic trade is probably Goldobin for Roslovic. But if Goldobin has any bearing on bringing Tryamkin back, then I rather just keep Goldobin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Update from Roslovic’s now former agent, Kenneth Robinson. Never requested a trade. Wanted off the 4th line. Much, much different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
