<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Well if Adam Lowry is your 2nd line center you're not a cup contender, period. The 2nd line has never been centered by Roslovic, it's always been centered by Little but the problem with the 2nd line is entirely because of Laine's struggles not who's centering it.
I'm not convinced that the Jets need a 2C but they are gonna need a replacement for Little in 2-3 years and Roslovic is that replacement, trading him now would be so so dumb.
Who do you want to trade next season to get that 2C that everyone thinks the Jets need? Connor?Ehlers?</div></div>

The Jets certainly need a 2C, and Laine's struggles are certainly a product of that missing piece. Do you think it was just coincidental that Laine exploded and had an incredible 2 months last season following the arrival of Stastny on his line? Laine is not a player who creates opportunities for himself - he feeds off of high hockey IQ players who play a game that opens him up and gives him high quality scoring chances, so you should be entirely convinced that the Jets need a 2C this season. Worst case, the Jets have the EXACT same center core next season as they do this season (Scheif, Little, Lowry, whoever,) even if they trade Rosy so I don''t see a big problem. Don't think trading one player who has had one good week in the NHL is going to cause a catastrophic collapse of the Jets. Not to mention the addition of Anderson will buy another year of a cheap contract for a good player.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Copp and Lowry will never have the offensive abilities to be a 2C like Roslovic has, trading Roslovic would set the team back a decade.</div></div>

This seams to be a bit of a stretch. Prior to the last 4 games, Roslovic had scored 2 goals this season. I guarentee you had he not scored a hat trick last game, people would be on here commenting that Columbus wouldn't even take this trade, and instead its the other way around. I understand he has high potential. I just worry about the Jets heading into the playoffs with a 22 year old centering their second line.

Things to consider -
- The second line has been wildly inconsistent with Roslovic centering them. Apart from Roslovics powerplay goals, the second line has been getting dominated 5 v 5. Laine slumping indicates the need for a more veteran center (ideally left-handed) like Stastny last year who could play a solid game and help generate consistent good play/offense.
- The Jets recognize this is their window. This year more than any other, I would expect Chevy to be willing to move 1 or 2 pieces that he wouldn't otherwise want to move in order to bolster up the roster.
- Playoffs are a different animal. Anderson plays a heavy, skilled game and would be able to play a very important role on our third line with Perreault and Lowry to become a game changer in the playoffs.

Sure, the Jets lose the would be #2 center going forward, but if its for a cup, I don't see a problem. With the impending cap situation headed into next year, Chevy will have to get creative anyways and shift some pieces around.
Do I want Roslovic to go? Absolutely not! But if thats what it takes, maybe its worth it.
