Math Made Useful

Dwayne Roloson is 37 years old and has never played over 50 NHL games in a season.
Roloson, since the 03/04 season in Minnesota where both he and Fernandez paced each other to career highs has averaged a 2.73 GAA, and not once has his GAA dropped under 2.71.
Roloson, since the 03/04 season has not had a save percentage over .908
Roloson is making 4,500,000 million dollars in salary this season.
Roloson is on pace to appear in 71 games this season. (21 more than he has previously played in a single NHL season) His backup Jussi Markkanen has a 2.76 GAA with a .891 save percentage this season in only 12 appearances.
Roloson is currently 21st in GAA and 22nd in save percentage
1 city with high expectations + 1 overused career backup goaltender + 1 underused backup - 1 first round draft pick - 1 Chris Pronger = a very disappointed set of fans in Edmonton come playoff time.
