TAMPA, Fla. -- The New York Islanders have parted ways with veteran goaltender Dwayne Roloson, trading him Saturday to the Tampa Bay Lightning for defenceman Ty Wishart.
Roloson, 41, has a 6-13-1 record this season with a 2.64 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage.

I think this is a very good move for Roloson...

Not a bad trade for both sides.
The isles needed defense badly, and the Bolts really needed goaltending.
Isles weakness= defense
Lightning weakness= goaltending

yeah but the Isles will still have it as a weakness, Wishart has had a weak reputation since the Sharks dangled him as a guy that only wants to concentrate on scoring and plays relaxed on defense or being physical

i wouldnt have pulled the trigger on that one if i was stevie y
im a big fan of wisharts...even though he hasnt done much in the nhl thus far, he's a young d-man...roloson is 41
but, he knows more than i do, so we'll see how this plays out...maybe rolo is the answer in net for the time being

I'll take Wishart we're going nowhere hey Steve you want our other goaltender for a bag of pucks?

The isles better wrap DiPietro in bubble wrap.

I guess they are giving up on this season already, trading Wiz and Roloson in the same week. They just dumped $5.5 million in salary with those 2 trades and are $19 million under the cap.
