The Minnesota Wild are exploring opportunities in their pursuit of forward Jack Roslovic. With the season already underway, Roslovic remains an unrestricted free agent, drawing interest from several teams.
Minnesota Wild’s Interest in Jack Roslovic
As reported by TSN’s Chris Johnston, the Minnesota Wild are considering a potential trade for Roslovic. Despite his solid performance last season, he has not secured a contract yet. The reason for his unsigned status could be due to the search for a more favorable deal or waiting for the right team to express interest.
Current Team Dynamics
The Wild are in need of additional forward support. Injuries to players like Mats Zuccarello and Nico Sturm have left gaps in the roster, increasing reliance on players such as Vinnie Hinostroza. This situation makes Roslovic an appealing option.
- Mats Zuccarello – Injured
- Nico Sturm – Injured
- Vinnie Hinostroza – Potential replacement
Salary Cap and Roster Space
According to PuckPedia, the Minnesota Wild have over $3.5 million in cap space. This financial flexibility allows them to potentially work out a deal for Roslovic. Currently, the team has 13 forwards on their roster. They have also recently recalled rookie Hunter Haight, although the possibility of Hinostroza being a healthy scratch remains.
As the season progresses, the Wild’s decision on pursuing Roslovic will be closely watched. His addition could enhance their roster and help address their current challenges on the ice.
