i suspect our next selection will be met with some grumblings.
G - Grant Rollheiser, BU
The scoop: Upon his arrival at BU, this 2008 draft pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs was unable to wrestle the starting job in goal away from his undrafted (at the time) classmate, Kieran Millan. One could hardly blame him, as Millan finished the season with a blistering .897 winning % to go along with a 1.93 GAA and a .927 save %. However, even when Millan fell back to earth during his sophomore season (2.51, .905), Rollheiser actually saw his playing time go down. While those with proclivity for glow stick poisoning might mention a possible lingering ankle injury as the main culprit for his disappearance. We would instead submit his stat line of a robust 8-5-4 with a mediocre 2.60 GAA and terrible .888 save % through two seasons as the driving factor behind his demise. Rollheiser is now officially harder to find on campus than a donut in the cafeteria. With another year on the pine in store, his draft status makes him the most high profile bench-door opener in the league. Many have long expected Rollheiser to "Roll out" to a team that might actually let him play. His continued presence at BU is certainly a mystery. Perhaps he enjoys the Ivy League pretensions but community college atmosphere (copyright - dartmouth review); or perhaps Toronto has already given up on his development. Either way, surely, J-S Giguere is shaking in his boots at the thought of Rollheiser one day stealing his job. Rollheiser’s last professional hope will be an offseason trade to the Bruins – where mediocre college goalies are routinely rewarded with absurd contracts. (Missing since 2/26/2008)
