However, he did more than enough to prove that he was worthy of being signed earlier and for more money. Roslovic has continually bet on himself to get that coveted payday that plenty of players in his position have received.<\/p>\n<p>The Leafs may have given him a short-term deal. However, this could be an under-the-radar signing for new general manager John Chayka.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s also been part of some winning teams in recent memory.
