Roslovic has been playing in the bottom six because maurice won’t play him at center and we have elite wingers in our top 6 already. On many teams, Roslovic would be a top 6 guy and would produce at least 40 pts (probably more). There’s only so much you can do playing 13-14 minutes a game with Lowry and copp in a shutdown role. All jets fans and anyone who has watched roslovic play for a game knows that he is capable of so much more, which he is only starting to show. Imo he will be a 60 pt player in the nhl, it’s just a matter if it’s at c with the jets or at the wing with another club. Roslovic is already a top 6 forward, and if you consider his past offseason improvements, I expect a big step forward from him.
As for strome? Lundell projects to be a selke candidate 1c, better than strome was ever projected to be. Strome is an offensive 2c with minor defensive issues. Lundell’s realistic floor (that is, assuming he isn’t a bust) is a more defensively responsible strome. They aren’t even close tbh.
Strome doesn’t hold his draft pedigree anymore. He was drafted to be a 1c. He at best will be a good 2c. Personally, I don’t see strome being more than a 60 pt center in his prime. Whereas Roslovic has only raised his draft stock since his draft. He is worth more than that 20 something pick he was drafted with. Therefore, the difference now not nearly as small. In fact, the difference is only in time as they both have similar potential.
Also if we were valuing at draft pedigree, it would’ve taken much more than schmaltz to get strome. In fact this deal is quite similar tbh. Schmaltz was a 2c and strome was of equal value to where Roslovic is now. Perlini was worth about a 2nd then imo. So about the same as Roslovic and a 2nd
As for the deal of Roslovic and a first for strome and 3rd? jets fans have been offering a 2021 first not 2020 and sure as hell haven’t been doing it since we ended up with 10th oa. The idea with the Roslovic and a first for strome and 3rd deal is that the first will be late as the jets should be contenders again with a 2c. So it’s Roslovic and a late first (not 10th oa) for strome and a 3rd, and tbh I’m still okay with that. However, I think you probably want the 2020 2nd instead huh?
Lundell is not projected as Selke candidate....give me a break. He's projected as a 2C.
Strome is 23 years old. He is definitely already a 2C, given his improvements the last 2 seasons, he can become a 1C. It's hard to say. This is why, if Strome is traded the Hawks will get an overpayment for him like Kap got. Hawks aren't going to trade him for a BIG downgrade in Roslavic and a 2nd or 3rd. It will take a first and Roslavic to get a conversation going and not sure the 2021 1st will cut it.
Schmaltz, at the time we traded him, was not worth what Strome is today worth. He was worth more then Strome 2 years ago which is why Perlini was included, but today's Strome is worth more then 2 years ago Schmaltz clearly.
