Toronto Maple Leafs Analyst Reveals Why the Team Must Stay Away From Jack Roslovic
Free agent forward Jack Roslovic is being given a look by the Toronto Maple Leafs; however, there are a couple of Leafs analysts who believe that it is a bad idea.
Jack Roslovic has been someone on the Toronto Maple Leafs roster for quite some time; however, they still haven't signed him to a contract.
Overall, Roslovic has been an interesting case study, as no team has actually signed him, despite putting up 22 goals and 39 points last season.
He is by no means a scrub, and he is certainly a player who deserves to be in the NHL. While KHL teams are calling, he very clearly wants to play in North America.
Will the Toronto Maple Leafs avoid Jack Roslovic?
Interestingly, on a new episode of 'Leafs Morning Take,' Nick Alberga and Zack Phillips discussed Roslovic, and it led to some interesting takeaways.
Essentially, both of these analysts are warning the Maple Leafs against the acquisition of the forward. This is mostly due to the fact that he hasn't panned out with previous teams.
Furthermore, they are a bit concerned that the Carolina Hurricanes still haven't signed the forward. If he were really that good, someone would have bitten already.
The Maple Leafs have enough bottom-six forwards right now, so it is clear to us that Roslovic would be completely redundant.
Not to mention, the Vancouver Canucks seem interested right now, and if you have been paying attention, they are the much better fit.
Only time will tell what happens with Roslovic going forward, and whether or not the Toronto Maple Leafs make a move.
However, based on all that we know right now, it seems as though they are looking to just stay away.
