In addition to garnering interest from multiple teams across the league, Roslovic has also received multiple offers from teams in Russia\u2019s KHL, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GriffingDylan\/status\/1954191592635478057\" rel=\"nofollow\">per Dylan Griffing of EliteProspects<\/a>. Those offers will likely ring on deaf ears for a centerman who has spent the last nine seasons in the NHL, but they will ramp up the pressure on NHL clubs to get a deal in place.<\/p>\n<p>Roslovic is certainly worth the late-summer intrigue. He\u2019s filled the role of gritty and responsible bottom-six center through multiple stops in the league. His career began with the Winnipeg Jets, who drafted Roslovic at 25th-overall in the 2015 NHL Draft. The Jets provided a chance for Roslovic to plant his feet in the NHL, but he didn\u2019t find a true breakout until a 2021 move to the Columbus Blue Jackets. He scored 34 points in 48 games of the shortened 2021 season with Columbus \u2013 or, an 82-game pace of 58 points \u2013 then followed it up with 45 points and 44 points in two full seasons. He\u2019s since toured through stops with the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes, and continues to offer a mix of gritty physical and near-40 points each season. That standing will make him a desirable asset for all leagues, though a stay in the NHL seems all-but-guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>Other notes from around the league:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Philadelphia Flyers prospect <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eliteprospects.com\/player\/590255\/oliver-bonk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Oliver Bonk<\/strong><\/a> shared that his sights are set high for his first professional season in a motivated interview <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com\/nhl\/philadelphia-flyers\/flyers-prospect-oliver-bonk-will-aim-high-as-he-turns-pro\/674374\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">with Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia<\/a>. He shared that his goal will, of course, be to make the Flyers lineup out of training camp \u2013 but that he\u2019s putting equal attention towards making sure he keeps his eyes set on the ultimate goal, no matter the outcome of camp. Bonk is coming off an incredibly successful junior hockey career, capped off with a Memorial Cup win with the OHL\u2019s London Knights. He scored 54 points in 69 games this season, and 73 points in 78 games in the 2023-24 campaign. It will be an uphill battle to jump straight to the NHL, but Bonk will have the upper hand as a 6-foot-2, 210-pound defender with speed and puck-moving ability.<\/li>\n<li>The Colorado Avalanche could be searching for depth forwards for the extent of another season.

But in the mixed year, Drury\u2019s 18 points in 72 games still looks meager. A lack of depth could offer Drury \u2013 or a player currently on the outside, like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/i\/ivaniv01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-08-10_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ivan Ivan<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 a chance to show his might before the Avalanche have time to bring in another new face.
