The 6' 1" 183 lb center/ right winger put in a good showing at the recent Jets prospects camp, and is coming off a great NCAA season, playing for Miami of Ohio, where he put up 10 goals and 16 assists for 26 points in 36 games.
With Roslovic signing his ELC, it means that he will be forgoing college to pursue his NHL dreams. Recently, his rights were traded to the London Knights of the OHL, so next season he'll either stick with the Jets, the Moose, or the aforementioned Knights.
