The Blue Jackets have traded Jack Roslovic to the New York Rangers for a conditional fourth-round pick in 2026. The club is retaining 50% of Roslovic's remaining salary and cap hit. This move comes just minutes before the NHL trade deadline, which was at 3 p.m. ET on Friday.
If the Rangers make the Stanley Cup Final and Roslovic plays in 50% of the playoff games, the fourth-round pick they sent to the Blue Jackets will become a third-round pick.
The 27-year-old Roslovic was in the final year of a two-year, $4M cap-hit contract and is a pending unrestricted free agent.
In 246 games over four seasons with the Blue Jackets, he posted 51-95--146 including 6-17--23 in 40 games this season.
Before his time in Columbus, the No. 25 overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft played 180 games with Winnipeg over four seasons and scored 26-41--67.
