I'll cross-post this from the big trade thread since it'll get quickly buried, and is more relevant here:

I keep coming back to Roslovic. He has some warts, but good speed and a nice high ceiling. It's weird that it hasn't gone better for him this year in CBJ - would have thought they'd do everything possible to make the local kid a long-term fixture. He's getting more TOI with Boone/Texier injured, but he looks to be the odd man out behind those two and Sillinger.

He's the type of guy we'll be looking for to replace Monahan next year...probably looking at a 1x2.5M QO. Dubé and a 3rd (maybe conditionally upgrades to 2nd)?

Change of scenery deal; CBJ gets a couple years younger with a bit more term (though I'm not sure if Roslovic would be UFA if he takes a 1 year QO...I think he might have 1 more year of RFA after). CGY can't really afford to pay this version of Dubé 2.3M next year, but 2.5M would be really good value for a 3C with JR's upside.

Lucic-Ruzicka-Toffoli
Lewis-Monahan-Roslovic

Always the option to put Roslovic at C if the lights get too bright for Ruzicka, and realistically we'll need 5-6 C's for a run.
