Dwayne Roloson has been one of the best goaltenders in the league during exhibition play and is looking to build on last year's success.
The 41-year-old netminder finished the season with a 24-25-5 record with a 2.59 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage in 54 games last season but posted a solid 18-12-4 record with the Lightning after being acquired from the Islanders. The proven veteran was also strong between the pipes for Tampa during their playoff run, which ended in the Eastern Conference finals. However, there's always a risk with drafting older goaltenders. How much does the veteran have left in the tank? Although Rollie is on the wrong side of 40, he is an intense competitor and his preparation is impeccable. He shouldn't have a problem reaching the 30-win plateau in 2011-12 playing on a strong Lightning club but his peripheral numbers won't be as good this year.
