Jack Roslovic Still on the Market: NHL’s Top Remaining Free Agent Holds Out
When it comes to the 2025 NHL free agency buzz, one name still standing out is Jack Roslovic . As the dust settles and the frenzy of the initial signings cools off, Roslovic remains unsigned, quietly commanding attention as arguably the most notable unrestricted free agent still available. It’s an odd space for a player of his caliber, but it speaks volumes about how fast and brutal the NHL free agency window truly is.
Just over a week since the doors flew open for free agents, things have slowed down dramatically. As Chris Johnston pointed out, hockey’s free agency period is less like a slow burn and more like a game of musical chairs—quick, chaotic, and unforgiving to those left standing once the music stops. And right now, Roslovic is one of those still standing, despite very real interest across the league.

Let’s be clear: it’s not a matter of if Roslovic will land somewhere—he will. The guy has NHL experience, decent offensive upside, and has shown he can produce when put in the right situations. Last season may not have been his career-best, but his underlying numbers, speed, and versatility make him a valuable middle-six option for any team still looking to shore up their depth before training camp.
The market stalling has more to do with timing and fit than talent. General managers are being cautious with cap space, and some are still working through other roster moves or arbitration cases. But rest assured, teams are circling . Roslovic’s camp is taking its time, and rightfully so—this isn’t about rushing into any opportunity, it’s about the right opportunity. Whether it's a contender needing a boost or a younger squad needing a veteran presence, he checks a lot of boxes.
Victor Olofsson and Matt Grzelcyk are also names still floating around in free agency, but Roslovic stands slightly above them in both name recognition and projected role. He brings more versatility up front, and the sense is that he’s waiting for a situation that gives him both playing time and the ability to showcase what he can still bring .
At this point, it's not about whether he's worthy of a contract—it's about the right deal and the right team. There's still time before training camps begin in October, and as cap flexibility opens up or injuries inevitably strike, Roslovic's phone will ring.
Until then, he remains the most intriguing name left on the board—a skilled, adaptable forward just waiting for the right chair when the music starts again.
