Winnipeg Jets Forward Demands Trade!

The news broke yesterday that Jack Roslovic would not be attending training camp with the Winnipeg Jets, and some were wondering if it was because he was holding out for a new contract or if he was looking to be traded. We have our answer.

Roslovic’s agent Claude Lemieux tells me tonight his client has asked for a trade. So we’ll see where this goes... https://t.co/4T08ZOoPwx

Roslovic is looking to be moved because it doesn't sound like he's happy with his ice-time, which is a common theme in Winnipeg. Head coach, Paul Maurice is known for leaning on his big guns a little too much, and these types of things happen when you do so.

The 23-year-old Roslovic played in 71 games last season, scoring 29 points and is looking for a bigger role on any other team. The Jets are already trying to move Patrik Laine who wants out, so perhaps both players get packaged together.

Some teams out there still looking for offense, or who will take a flyer on a young winger could be the Nashville Predators, New Jersey Devils or Los Angeles Kings.
