Overview

  • Insiders report that Roslovic is waiting on the Maple Leafs to clear cap space before committing to a top-six winger role in Toronto.
  • General manager Brad Treliving has publicly identified the former Hurricanes winger as an ideal secondary scoring upgrade.
  • Toronto is exploring trades of Calle Jarnkrok, David Kampf and recently extended Nick Robertson to unlock roughly $1.9 million in salary cap space.
  • Market interest in those depth forwards has been minimal so far, complicating the club’s efforts to shed salary.
  • Roslovic scored 22 goals and 39 points on a one-year, $2.8 million contract with Carolina last season, bolstering his appeal as a cost-effective top-six addition.
