Toronto Maple Leafs pursue Carolina Hurricanes free agent Jack Roslovic as Mitch Marner replacement: Report
Jack Roslovic (via Getty Images) In the wake of Mitch Marner's massive trade to the Vegas Golden Knights, the Toronto Maple Leafs are acting fast to plug the hole created on the right wing. NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has shared that the organization now has its eyes on unrestricted free agent forward Jack Roslovic, most recently of the Carolina Hurricanes. Toronto Maple Leafs target Jack Roslovic to plug scoring hole following Mitch Marner trade Jack Roslovic, 28, is not one of the high-end names from this year's free agent class, but the Maple Leafs envision some value in his speed and playmaking—two of Mitch Marner's defining qualities. Of greater significance, Jack Roslovic personally knows star center Auston Matthews, as they played together while with the U.S. National Team Development Program. On the latest 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman dropped the news of the increasing interest: "One guy I think the Leafs are in on is Jack Roslovic," Elliotte Friedman said. "And it makes sense to me because he has a history with Auston Matthews. They played together at the US National Development Team. I can see this connection." Jack Roslovic (#96) All 22 Goals of the 2024-25 NHL Season Jack Roslovic's last contract was a one-year, $2.8 million deal with the Carolina Hurricanes. Even with him playing in a middle-six role, his skating skill and offense sense might make him a fit in terms of tactics on the Maple Leafs' new-look roster. Toronto is rebuilding by committee with Marner left behind, and Roslovic might be one of the pieces of that puzzle. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 지금 모두가 공유하고, 스트리밍하고, 플레이하는 RPG 게임 레이드 섀도우 레전드 설치하기 Undo However, there remains a big roadblock: the salary cap. Toronto is sitting with about $4.9 million in cap space, and Daily Faceoff reports that Roslovic will be eligible for about $4.1 million per year over a three-year contract. That would not give Toronto much room to maneuver unless they do more. They have options such as David Kampf or Calle Järnkrok to move to make room under the cap, although no trade talks have been reported so far. The Leafs were said to have had interest in high-end forwards Brock Boeser and Nikolaj Ehlers during this offseason, but since both are now gone, the team is looking at what is out there and what can be afforded. Also read: Carolina Hurricanes set to capitalize on Game 3 shutout from home crowd against Washington Capitals Jack Roslovic won't have the same level of name recognition as Mitch Marner, but his experience with Auston Matthews and the potential to fit in might be a low-risk, high-reward signing—if only Toronto can make it pencil out.

Diamondbacks look to Corbin Carroll in rubber game vs. Royals
(Photo credit: Patrick Breen/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images) Arizona's Corbin Carroll was 0-for-5 in his return Saturday after missing more than two weeks with a fractured left wrist, but the Diamondbacks will need his contributions to get out of their doldrums. Despite their 7-1 win over the Kansas City Royals in Phoenix on Saturday, the Diamondbacks have lost seven of their last 10 games entering Sunday afternoon's rubber game of the series. Carroll, the team's right fielder and leadoff hitter, is batting .251 with 20 home runs and 44 RBIs this season. He has impressed teammates by returning to the lineup so quickly. 'He just wants to help the team win,' third baseman Eugenio Suarez said. 'And he's hungry to play. He's a guy who loves this game and just wants to be out in the field. It's very impressive because with the fracture he has, they said he might be lost for like a month, but he's back (much sooner). It's awesome for us. For me, I was very happy to see him back in the lineup.' Said manager Torey Lovullo: 'I'm grateful for the commitment and the dedication. He's one of our best players and one of the best players in the National League, and the fact he's in the lineup is going to give us a much-needed boost.' Right-hander Anthony DeSclafani (0-0, 4.82 ERA) is Arizona's scheduled starter on Sunday. He has one previous appearance against the Royals in his career. He got a no-decision in a start, while with the San Francisco Giants on April 9, 2023. DeSclafani allowed a run on three hits in 6 1/3 innings, did not walk a batter and struck out seven in a 3-1 Giants victory. Kansas City was stifled by Ryne Nelson on Saturday. He retired the first 16 Royals in order and allowed a run and four hits over seven innings. Nelson did not walk a batter and struck out five. Kansas City's only offense came in the sixth inning. Freddy Fermin singled with one out to become the Royals' first base runner. Jonathan India singled one out later, and Bobby Witt Jr. followed with an RBI single. Center fielder Alek Thomas then came to Nelson's rescue by denying Kansas City more runs when he made a sliding catch coming in on Vinnie Pasquantino's liner with two outs and runners on first and third to end the inning. 'We were another hit away from a couple more runs,' India said. 'The center fielder made a really good play on Vinnie's ball. So it just didn't go our way.' The Royals will send right-hander Michael Lorenzen (4-8, 4.95 ERA) to the mound on Sunday. He's 2-1 with a 3.26 ERA in nine career games against the Diamondbacks. The last time Lorenzen faced them, he was a member of the Detroit Tigers. That was on June 9, 2023, when he started and took the loss by giving up six earned runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. Lorenzen walked a batter and struck out three. The D-backs won 11-6. --Field Level Media
