Maple Leafs Pursue Free Agent Roslovic Amid Cap Crunch
4 Aug
Summary
- Maple Leafs interested in signing free agent forward Jack Roslovic
- Leafs working to manage salary cap to facilitate potential move
- 5-6 other teams also pursuing 28-year-old Roslovic
As of August 4th, 2025, the Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly interested in signing free agent forward Jack Roslovic. The team is actively working to manage its salary cap situation in order to facilitate a potential move for the 28-year-old player.
According to insider Elliotte Friedman, the Leafs are not the only team interested in Roslovic, with 5 or 6 other organizations also in the mix for the free agent. Roslovic is coming off a one-year, $2.8 million contract with the Carolina Hurricanes, during which he recorded 22 goals and 17 points in 81 games.
The Leafs' interest in Roslovic is likely due to his versatility as a center/right wing, as well as his playoff experience, which could make him an attractive depth option for the team. However, the Leafs' salary cap constraints remain a key hurdle in their pursuit of the free agent.
In a separate development, the Leafs recently avoided arbitration with forward Nick Robertson, agreeing to a one-year, $1.825 million contract for the 2025-26 season. Friedman has suggested that the Leafs may need to move players like Robertson to address their depth and salary cap issues.
