Roslovic Sees Winning Potential After Signing Contract with the Oilers

Jack Roslovic, a 28-year-old forward, is eager to seize a new opportunity with the Edmonton Oilers after signing a one-year contract worth $1.5 million. This signing marks a significant moment in his career as he looks to contribute to a team that has reached the Western Conference Finals in the last two seasons.

Roslovic’s New Chance with the Oilers

Practicing with Edmonton for the first time on Friday, Roslovic expressed his excitement about joining the franchise. He highlighted the potential for success, stating, “That’s going to be the theme here, is opportunity: an opportunity to win, an opportunity to play with great players.”

Previous Experience and Performance

Before joining the Oilers, Roslovic played four seasons with the Winnipeg Jets, where he was drafted in the first round (No. 25) of the 2015 NHL Draft. Throughout his career, he has amassed:

260 regular-season points: 102 goals and 158 assists in 526 games.
17 playoff points: 3 goals and 14 assists in 45 games.

His most recent season with the Carolina Hurricanes resulted in 39 points, consisting of 22 goals and 17 assists over 81 games. He also contributed 4 points, including 1 goal and 3 assists, in 9 playoff appearances.

Teammates and Leadership

Roslovic looks forward to playing alongside star forwards Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. He admires their skills and leadership on the ice, stating, “It’s fun seeing those guys go to work. Obviously, these two are a little bit different caliber, but it’ll be fun.”

Looking Forward

After his contract with Carolina expired, Roslovic became an unrestricted free agent. Despite not attending training camps this year, he remained focused, training independently in Columbus while considering the Oilers’ offer.

Roslovic is committed to focusing on his performance and being an integral part of the team moving forward. He stated, “I’m here now and want to focus on being here, playing well, doing things well that I bring from a hockey standpoint.”
