The trade
New York Rangers get: Forward Jack Roslovic
Columbus Blue Jackets get: Conditional fourth-round pick
Corey Pronman: Roslovic is an excellent skater who can provide a much-needed speed element to the Rangers forward group which is something they’ve been missing with Filip Chytil out due to injury. Roslovic’s pure scoring touch won’t dazzle, but he has enough skill to provide secondary offense while being able to be a reliable enough two-way player.
On the Rangers, he won’t be a go-to guy, but he can be a solid bottom-six addition. He can play center or wing although in New York he’s probably a wing. It’s a nice add for them given it’s only a mid-round pick several drafts away going the other direction.
New York Rangers grade: B+
Columbus grade: C+
