Breaking new: Rangers Acquire Jack Roslovic from Blue Jackets.
Jack Roslovic was traded to the New York Rangers by the Columbus Blue Jackets for a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft on Friday.
Roslovic is in the final season of a two-year contract ($4 million average annual value) he signed with the Blue Jackets on June 7, 2022, and can become an unrestricted free agent after this season. He was acquired in the trade with the Winnipeg Jets that brought Patrik Laine to Columbus on Jan. 23, 2021.
The 27-year-old forward has 23 points (six goals, 17 assists) in 40 games this season.
No, he’s not Jake Guentzel. Nor is he Pavel Buchnevich, or even Frank Vatrano.
But the New York Rangers have indeed added a forward in center/right winger Jack Roslovic from the Columbus Blue Jackets, according to multiple reports. The return is a fourth-round pick in this year’s draft, which would become a third-rounder if the Rangers advance to the Stanley Cup Final.
Roslovic carries an average annual cap hit of $4 million, and is a pending unrestricted free agent. The Blue Jackets retained 50% of his salary in the trade.
