As the NHL offseason winds down, there are still a few quality players out on the free agent market. Teams have been finalizing their rosters for the new season, but there can always be room to add.

One of the better names available is center Jack Roslovic, who played with the Carolina Hurricanes last season. Roslovic could bring real depth and scoring to any team, and it's a little strange why he remains unsigned at this point.

The veteran has drawn interest from multiple teams around the NHL, with the Toronto Maple Leafs being one of the most talked-about . But NHL insider Frank Seravalli has now thrown another name into the hat: the Vancouver Canucks.

Vancoyver has been busy this offseason putting its roster together, and it could use more depth across the board. Bringing back star Brock Boeser came as a surprise to many people around the league, but the Canucks want to go after a title.

The team just barely missed the postseason last year, and the front office has been trying to bring more talent to the team. Adding a player like Roslovic to the mix could help the squad become even more dynamic out on the ice.

Last season with the Hurricanes, Roslovic scored 22 goals and 17 assists on the year. His abilities along the lines for the Canucks could help this squad return to the postseason, and he can be a dangerous presence on the ice.

It remains to be seen what Roslovic will do, but the Canucks could be an intriguing option. Roslovic is arguably the best free agent left on the market, so he will have some power in how things go down.
