The Edmonton Oilers have shed all initial signs of shakiness that characterised this season, winning three of their past four games. Sure, regulation wins are few and far between, but the team has climbed up the Pacific Division rankings to occupy the fourth position, right behind the Seattle Kraken with 22 points.
The Oilers are still not beating the “one-line team” allegations, thanks to their overuse of the formidable duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, but if there is one player who has made himself adequately valuable for the Oilers’ otherwise underwhelming season, it is Jack Roslovic. In the Oilers’ November campaign, the forward has scored two overtime goals, sparking discussion on social media about the phenomenal bargain his contract is.
Fans Laud Jack Roslovic’s Exceptional Contract with the Edmonton Oilers
Although the Oilers have played only 20 games this season so far, there is enough reason to say that Stan Bowman will not hesitate to offer the 28-year-old a contract extension that prolongs his stay in Edmonton. Currently, Roslovic is on a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the team and has proved himself to be worth every penny of that amount, if not more.
“Roslovic had every right to fire his agent. How did the Oilers get this guy for only 1.5mm,” posted one social media user, believing that a talent like Roslovic is heavily underpaid and his agent could have done a better job in negotiating with the Oilers management. Another fan clubbed him with the captain, highlighting how their contracts might be the best in the entire history of the league. “Connor McDavid at $12.5M and Jack Roslovic at $1.5M might be the best contracts in NHL history.”

“Roslovic has beyond surpassed any of my expectations. Such a fresh breath of air to see a forward on this team that has a good shot *and* actually shoots the puck,” stated an Oilers fan, emphasizing their admiration for Roslovic’s play: something that was missing from the Oilers lineup.
Another social media user expressed that Roslovic has steadily evolved into one of Draisaitl’s best wingmen. “Roslovic since he learned the systems has been one of the best wingers Draisaitl has ever had.” While another bluntly stated that the 28-year-old is a top-tier NHL talent. “Why is Roslovic actually elite.”
Roslovic has earned the approval of the Oilers fan base; now it remains to be seen if he can sustain his current form through the rest of the season to strengthen Edmonton’s playoff case.
