Sportsnet's Sean Reynolds and Ken Wiebe discuss what the Patrik Laine trade means for the Winnipeg Jets, how Pierre Luc-Dubois will best fit the Jets and who will step up losing a pure goal scorer.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have agreed to a two-year, $3.8-million deal with centre Jack Roslovic as part of Saturday’s blockbuster trade with the Winnipeg Jets.

Jack Roslovic's two-year deal with #CBJ carries a $1.9M AAV.

Roslovic, who was born in Columbus, was dealt to the Blue Jackets along with Patrik Laine in exchange for Pierre-Luc Dubois and a third-round pick.

Roslovic was sent to the Blue Jackets as an unsigned restricted free agent. The 23-year-old had asked for a trade out of Winnipeg and was not with the Jets to start the 2020-21 season.

The 25th overall pick in 2015, Roslovic scored 12 goals and 29 points in 71 games for the Jets last season, his best as a pro.
