with the Carolina Hurricanes.\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: Canucks Daily<\/p>\n<p>Jack Roslovic is surprisingly still a free agent, and while there&#8217;s been interest elsewhere, the Maple Leafs are the front runner for the talented forward.<\/p>\n<p>NHL free agency and the off-season in general have been rather slow, with only extensions and smaller signings announced in the recent months of a very quiet summer for the league.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are still a few intriguing players available, with none more talented that 28-year old centre Jack Roslovic, who spent last season having a very productive campaign with the Carolina Hurricanes.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto the front runners to land the former first-round pick<\/p>\n<p>Thus far, there&#8217;s been interest in Roslovic from several teams, but nothing has come to fruition, and with training camp right around the corner, it&#8217;s no surprise that speculation is once again heating up.<\/p>\n<p>Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CzrB9nHlG28&amp;t=2s\" class=\"lien_marqueur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NHL Insider Frank Seravall<\/a> has revealed that the Toronto Maple Leafs are shaping up as a favourite to sign the talented right-shot centre who tied his career high in goals with 22 a season ago.<\/p>\n<p>On paper, this could be a good fit for the Maple Leafs, but given the logjam of forwards they&#8217;ve found themselves with this off-season, the signing of Roslovic would no doubt need to come with several corresponding moves to open up a spot for him.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, Roslovic tallied 39 points with the Hurricanes, giving him between 30 and 45 points for the fifth straight year, so while he&#8217;s not going to be a star anywhere, as a 3C for a good team, he&#8217;s a great fit.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately though, with the talent this roster has, there may be no place that the 28-year old Roslovic would thrive more, and with few other teams now interested, the Maple Leafs may be where the talented young forward ends up for the 2025\/26 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on HouseOfHockey<\/p>\n<p>POLL<\/p>\n<p>2 HOURS
