With Roslovic having the inside track to make the roster after his performance in the second half last season, when he had 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 31 games, it appeared there was one job available. That seems likely to go to forward Brendan Lemieux, who got plenty of preseason ice time at left wing with Roslovic and played his first nine NHL regular-season games last season. Forwards Kristian Vesalainen, Winnipeg's first-round pick (No. 24) in the 2017 NHL Draft, and Marko Dano, who had three points (two goals, one assist) in 23 games last season, are also candidates; Vesalainen played more with Roslovic in practice late in camp.
