Carolina Hurricanes sign Jack Roslovic to one-year contract

As Sportsnets’ Elliotte Friedman reported yesterday, the Carolina Hurricanes have signed Jack Roslovic to a one-year, $2.8 million contract.

Roslovic spent the 2023-24 season split between the Columbus Blue Jackets and New York Rangers. Roslovic started the season with the Blue Jackets and appeared in 40 games racking up six goals and 17 assists for 23 points.

The Columbus, Ohio product was dealt to ‘The Big Apple’ at the 2024 trade deadline in exchange for a conditional fourth-round pick in 2026. The pick would have become a third-rounder if the Rangers reached the Stanley Cup finals last season. While with the Presidents Trophy-winning Rangers, Roslovic tallied three goals and five assists for eight points in 19 games and added two goals and eight points in 16 Stanley Cup Playoff contests.

Roslovic was in the final year of a two-year contract that paid him $4 million annually that he signed with the Blue Jackets in 2022.

Roslovic was a former first-round pick of the Winnipeg Jets in the 2015 NHL Draft and spent his first four seasons in Winnipeg. He was then traded to the Blue Jackets in 2021 in the deal that sent Patrik Laine to Columbus and Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Jets and then spent four seasons with the Blue Jackets before being dealt to New York. He appeared in 445 career games in the NHL and accumulated 80 goals and 221 points with the Jets, Blue Jackets and Rangers.

Roslovic will be joining new faces Shayne Gostsibehere, Tyson Jost, William Carrier, Sean Walker and Riley Stillman as free agency acquisitions by Carolina so far.
