The Columbus Blue Jackets announced on Tuesday that they've agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension worth $8 million ($4 million AAV) with forward Jack Roslovic.

Roslovic had a career year during the 2021-22 campaign. In 81 games, the Columbus native put up 45 points (22 goals, 23 assists), twelve penalty minutes and was a plus-two.

"Jack is an offensively gifted player with great speed and vision who has increased his production each season during his NHL career," said General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen. "He has made great strides in his all-around game, especially during this past season, and we are very pleased that he will continue to be an important part of our team as we move forward."

The 25-year-old was set to become a restricted free agent on July 13th.

It'll be a busy next little while for the Blue Jackets. Next up will be potentially a big contract for pending RFA forward Patrik Laine who had a bounce back year despite missing games for personal reasons and injury. Both Roslovic and Laine were acquired from the Winnipeg Jets in January 2021.
