Roslovic had been waiting on a deal with a team that appeared not to come. He was skating in Columbus, hoping to secure a multi-year contract. It will be intriguing to see if the Oilers give 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.”

If (when) Roslovic joins the team, it will be interesting to see who comes out. Noah Philp has made the opening night roster as a depth center, and Curtis Lazar was a healthy scratch. This likely won’t be good news for either player, as it will likely impact their hopes of earning regular minutes in the NHL this season.
