WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

"Free-agent signee has stepped in, played well in Saint John." (Eric Duhatschek, The Hockey News Future Watch 1995)

"...Roloson - the AHL leader with 33 regular-season wins - deserves a serious opportunity. With Kidd underperforming, he just might get it." (ESPN Hockey 96, p. 110)

"Roloson is a nice story when you realize he was never drafted by an NHL team. He filled in for an injured Hasek in the Eastern Conference final and went 1-1 against Toronto. A fairly big goaltender, Roloson is a good fit as a backup. He's certainly not good enough to be an everyday starter. Being Hasek's backup makes Roloson the Maytag repairman of the NHL. He'll remain in that role as long as the Dominator is there and young Martin Biron is in the minors." (The Sports Forecaster 1999-2000, p. 79)

""Rollie the Goalie" is no more than a backup who has had flashes of brilliance in four NHL seasons. Has always been plagued by inconsistency, which is likely to land him in the minor leagues yet again." (The Sports Forecaster 2000-01, p. 161)

"Thanks to a monster training camp, the AHL's top goaltender in 2000-01 unseated Jamie McLennan as the Wild backup last season. During the season, Roloson actually outplayed No. 1 goalkeeper Manny Fernandez and pushed him for the top job. Historically, the 32-year-old minor-league veteran never showed he could handle the No. 1 role in the NHL. Nevertheless, Roloson's 2.68 goals-against average and five shutouts last season were impressive. Assuming Fernandez rebounds from his sub-par campaign, Roloson could either complement him as the backup or again share the load. However, he will be hard-pressed to duplicate last season's numbers." (The Sports Forecaster 2002-03, p. 182)

"Like a fine wine, the veteran puck-stopper gets better with age. Roloson, who turns 36 in October, tied for first in the NHL in save percentage, and was second in goals-against average, in 2003-04. Roloson followed it up by posting solid numbers in the Finnish SM-Liiga during the lockout. He's definitely the starter in Minny." (The Sports Forecaster 2005-06, p. 104)
