In the midst of their ongoing retool, the Detroit Red Wings have been urged to sign a highly skilled available free agent this offseason, which would undoubtedly bolster their offensive roster.
Despite the Detroit Red Wings' pursuit to become postseason contenders for the upcoming 2025/26 NHL season by acquiring, departing, and re-signing players within their roster, it is clear the organization can still benefit from adding additional skill to their offense.
And with a current nine-year streak of postseason absence, loyal fans are hopeful that general manager Steve Yzerman makes some major moves to bolster their roster prior to the beginning of the upcoming season.
That being said, and with just a few weeks before the new season begins, the Detroit Red Wings need to make something happen.
Luckily enough, the free agent market is still offering an extremely intriguing forward.
That player is former Carolina Hurricanes forward Jack Roslovic, and the Red Wings have now become urged to pursue this talent.

Roslovic spent his last campaign with the Hurricanes, where he posted 39 points in 81 games, and these kinds of numbers would undoubtedly help bolster the Red Wings' offense.
Meanwhile, it was noted in an article last month by ESPN's Greg Wyshynski that Roslovic is the best unrestricted free agent still available for the taking.
«Easily the most tantalizing player left in free agency. Roslovic played 81 games for the Carolina Hurricanes last season, generating 22 goals and 17 assists in 13:49 of average ice time,» Wyshynski stated. «His goal total matched his career high he set with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2020-21.»
With all said, this is arguably the Red Wings' last chance at pursuing talent this offseason.

Despite these current assumptions that Roslovic will land in Toronto or Carolina this summer, there is still time for the Detroit Red Wings to pursue this forward and steal him from the market.
