One of the biggest free agent surprises this summer is that forward Jack Roslovic<\/a> remains a free agent.\u00a0 Coming off matching his career high in goals last season with 22, the belief was that he\u2019d land a multi-year deal with a raise from the $2.9MM he received last season; we had him ranked<\/a> 20th in our annual Top 50 UFA list.\u00a0 Instead, as the preseason gets underway tonight, he\u2019s still on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

That isn\u2019t to say that he hasn\u2019t had offers, however.\u00a0 In his latest column for The Athletic (subscription link<\/a>), Pierre LeBrun reports that the Oilers are believed to have made a pitch at some point during the summer, one that was declined.\u00a0 Considering that they\u2019re very tight to the Upper Limit of the salary cap, it stands to reason that the proposal may have come very early in free agency before their roster was filled out.\u00a0 Otherwise, the offer would have needed to be relatively close to the minimum salary for them to stay cap-compliant.<\/p>\n

As much as Roslovic has bounced around recently (he has played for three different teams in the last year and a half), he has been able to provide some decent consistent secondary scoring.\u00a0 He had 39 points last season, extending his streak to five straight years of recording more than 30 points.\u00a0 Between that and his ability to play down the middle when needed, Roslovic seemed to be in better shape than he was last summer when he ultimately accepted a one-year deal from Carolina.<\/p>\n

LeBrun notes that Roslovic\u2019s desire remains to secure a multi-year contract and he has changed to being represented by ASM\u2019s Justin Duberman (he was previously repped by 4Sports\u2019 Claude Lemieux).\u00a0 Whether that will be enough to get the term and money he\u2019s seeking remains to be seen but with most rosters set heading into the season, it won\u2019t be easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the biggest free agent surprises this summer is that forward Jack Roslovic remains a free agent.\u00a0…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7411,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[2367,49,48,453,2361,82],"class_list":["post-157925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-2025-free-agency","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-edmonton-oilers","tag-jack-roslovic","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157925\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
