What&#8217;s the exodus look like if you bring in a Jack Roslovic? You&#8217;re definitely not trading of a position of strength when everyone knows that you have to flee bodies, and that&#8217;s I think the game right now when it comes to Brad Treliving. It&#8217;s like, you want to bring in Roslovic, but you bring him in and you have like 4 guys that you&#8217;ve gotta jettison out and how do you make a trade when every GM knows that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Roslovic is reportedly looking for a multi-year deal in the neighborhood of $3M per season, and while the Leafs can certainly accommodate a deal like they, they can&#8217;t do it until they move someone else out.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on MapleLeafsDaily<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tMAPLELEAFSDAILY.COM<br \/>COPYRIGHT @2025 &#8211; ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapleleafsdaily.com\/terms\" class=\"lediv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TERMS<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapleleafsdaily.com\/politic\" class=\"lediv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">POLICIES<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reporter Explains the Holdup with the Maple Leafs and Announcing Their Next UFA Signing Photo credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57466,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[20218,49,48,5239,2361,5240,448,82,746],"class_list":{"0":"post-57465","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-brad-treliving","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-hockey","12":"tag-jack-roslovic","13":"tag-leafs-news-and-rumours","14":"tag-nhl","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-toronto-maple-leafs"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57465","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=57465"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57465\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
