Jack Roslovic is smarter, fitter and a more well-rounded player as he begins his second season as a professional.
But it likely won't be enough to earn regular work with the Winnipeg Jets, who chose the 20-year-old centre in the first round (25th overall) in the 2015 NHL Draft. He's expected to continue his development with the AHL's Manitoba Moose, where he registered 13 goals and 48 points in 65 games in 2016-17.
Roslovic was a standout during Winnipeg's fitness testing last week and had a particularly dominant performance in the beep test, a definitive assessment of cardiovascular conditioning.
