Edmonton Oilers forward Jack Roslovic could have been with the Toronto Maple Leafs this season, and now, Brad Treliving looks as though he made a big mistake.
Jack Roslovic is a player who the Toronto Maple Leafs were pursuing throughout most of the summer and Free Agency.
In the end, they opted not to sign him, as they had an abundance of bottom-six forwards. From there, Roslovic signed with the Edmonton Oilers.
Fans in Toronto were a bit disappointed by all of this, but Brad Treliving had to make a decision, and this is what he ultimately went with.

Unfortunately, Treliving's calculation was a bad one. Why? Well, it's because Jack Roslovic is having an amazing season right now.
The forward is currently getting lots of playing time, and in 18 games, he already has 14 points, which is putting him on pace for the best season of his career.
Roslovic is playing 20 minutes a night alongside Draisaitl, has six goals and eight assists in 18 games, and he makes $1.5 million against the cap.
Maybe should have signed him instead of giving up assets for Dakota Joshua or Matias Maccelli.

When you compare this production to Nicolas Roy, Dakota Joshua, and Matias Maccelli, you quickly realize how much the Leafs messed up.
The Maple Leafs are now on a five-game losing streak, and the vibes around the team could not be worse right about now.
With that in mind, it is easy to see why some fans are currently upset about the team's decision to pass on Roslovic.
Whether or not the forward keeps up this pace remains to be seen. Although if one thing is for sure, it is that the Leafs messed up.
