Colorado Avalanche free agent forward target Jack Roslovic has turned down an interview as the NHL seasons draws near, leaving questions about his future unanswered and fans wondering if a new contract will be finalized anytime.
Roslovic remains tight-lipped as the NHL season approaches, still unsigned and leaving his future uncertain.
Roslovic still the top unsigned free agent as the NHL season approaches.
Austin Kelly from Hockey Patrol writes that Roslovic is currently training in Columbus while waiting to see if any NHL teams will meet his contract demands for the 2025-26 season. Despite being one of the most sought-after free agents over the past month, no team has offered the deal he's looking for.
"Poised to have been a potential top-six signing at the start of free agency, Roslovic awaits a new deal with days left to go before things begin, and his options looking less and less.
Being asked about his free agent situation, Roslovic denied a request for comment when asked by Aaron Portzline of 'The Athletic', shutting down at this time any additional word on his future." -Kelly

As the NHL regular season approaches, Roslovic remains available on the open market, with injuries around the league potentially prompting teams to reconsider the 28-year-old forward.
Last season, Roslovic tallied 22 goals and 39 points in 81 games for the Carolina Hurricanes, yet despite his offensive production, he has yet to secure a new contract.
"Reports earlier in the offseason indicated interest from Toronto in Roslovic, but in recent weeks the talks have appeared to cool down as the Leafs try to finalize their own roster, but it doesn't take Roslovic out of the equation for Toronto." -Kelly
With the season fast approaching, all eyes will be on Roslovic and whether he can finally land a deal that reflects his offensive talent and experience.
Perhaps the Avalanche can still explore the option of signing Roslovic before the regular season gets underway next week.
