Leafs sign Jack Roslovic

[cabber24]

Roslovic's a bit of a speedster too. 76th percentile in max skating speed, 97th percentile in 22+ mph bursts, 91st percentile in 20-22 mph bursts last season. An element that's been badly missing on the team recently.

I am guessing he plays with Matthews. Doesn’t seem like a fit with Nylander.

Where did he play with Matthews? Isn’t he Russian?

No, he's from Columbus, Ohio. The GREATEST city on planet earth.

Where did he play with Matthews? Isn’t he Russian?

He was born in Columbus and developed in the USNDP

Nope, American. Born in Columbus.

Anyone else want to pile on to let cabber know where Roslovic was born?

He’s a right shot centre/winger. He’d be the last forward to spend time with Nylander

I think he’d be really good on a sheltered third line

The Soviet Socialist Republic of Columbustan

3 goals in 51 career playoff games, maxing out around 20 goals and 40 points...looks like your Calle Jarnkrok replacement.

His ancestors were most likely Serbo/Croatian.

I'd say it's doubtful Roslovic plays centre (except to cover for injuries perhaps).

I hope you are correct. He's right shot. But he needs top 6 like ice time
And he gives them depth for center - which they need (not good on faceoffs)

I doubt that Jankrok would play 15 minutes without touching the puck.

Yes, Columbus, Indiana.
Wait, I think it's Columbus, Georgia.

Two deals that I think probably would have made more sense here.

The fit for Roslovic just seems a little more questionable after the Sissons+Blueger deals. Like Domi I don't think he'll be good enough to play with Matthews consistently but not good defensively enough to play on a non-sheltered 3rd line.

Maybe, just maybe, a fit could be him playing centre between Tavares and Nylander with JT and him sort of tag-teaming C responsibilities.

Knies-Rosolvic-Cowan
Quillan-Tavares-Sissons
Joshua-Blueger-Duhaime

Or if feeling loonie, swap Knies and Quillan and have Cowan-Quillan-Roslovic, or push Cowan up to Matthews-Nylander and shelter McKenna with Quillan-Roslovic.

I’d feel more confident if we could slide Larkin (or Pettersson) into our top 6…

 

[princedpw]

I also kinda like the idea of sheltering McKenna a bit more initially. Tavares + kids could be a fun line.

I think we're playing Knies on his wing.
