Oilers Have Signed UFA Forward Jack Roslovic [Report]

According to Elliotte Friedman, the Edmonton Oilers have re-engaged in discussions with UFA forward Jack Roslovic. It also looks as though they’ve signed the 22-goal scorer.

Elliotte Friedman broke the news during the Oilers vs. Flames game on Wednesday night. He wrote, “As mentioned during the intermission, hearing Oilers have re-engaged with Jack Roslovic. We will see where it goes.” Not long after, he added, “He will be signing there.”

Terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed. As they become available, we’ll update the post.

Roslovic had been waiting on a deal with a team that appeared not to come. He was skating in Columbus and hoping to get a multi-year deal. It will be intriguing to see if the Oilers gave him more than a single season.

Oilers Have Been in On Roslovic All Summer

In mid-September, The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun said the following:

“I do believe there was an offer from the Edmonton Oilers at some point, but Roslovic, 28, turned it down… Word is he’d like to get term on his next deal — more than one year. That may not be easy to do this late into things, with teams mostly filled out. But we’ll see.”
