Roslovic… don’t love it but we need debt scoring.

Collecting former Blue Jackets is funny

Hehe 2x4M AAV per CJ

 

[rdowdall]

Not bad

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Roslovic didn't make a lot of sense for a team with Robertson, Maccelli, and Domi all on it.

Now though he makes a ton of sense. Especially as a right-handed shot. Being long-time friends with Matthews sure doesn't hurt either.

 

[Peter D.]

Seemed like this was inevitable. Think this is a good move.

He's here to explain to Rielly how great Columbus is.

 

[herman]

Are we just going to build out the team as Matthews’ buds?

Are players flocking to Toronto now that they know they won’t get big-timed by some propagandist?

Roslovic signing probably means they're out on Boone Jenner ... if the noise on Sissons is accurate

They needed some NHL centers badly

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

Like the signing. Will definitely help the forward group and scoring. 3rd line probably but good signing.

 

[Bender]

I'm good with this. We need centre depth and he's reasonably young.

 

[cabber24]

Is he a C? Didn’t think so, $4M for 20 goals seems quite reasonable in this market.

yep and he missed over 10 games.

He's primarily a RW but he can play C and take draws. He also played with Matthews back in the day.

 

[herman]

Basically flipped Nick Robertson to a right hand shot and made him a much gooder skater, but much less psycho and possibly too chill.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

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.

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

Little taller, little heavier and doesn't fall down as much.
