History
2001-02:
David Rohlfs played in Michigan in the NAHL last season and was selected in the fifth round (154th) by the Oilers. This was another selection the Oilers made to improve their overall size.
2004-05:
The Wolverines switch Rohlfs to the blueline with some success.
2006-07:
Rohlfs enjoyed a breakout season after returning to play RW alongside TJ Hensick and Kevin Porter. Although the promotion didn't last all year, Rohlfs was able to smash all of his past career offensvie numbers and caught the attention of the Oilers in the process.
Talent Analysis
A big powerful player who is quite mobile and can play either on the blueline or as a forward. With his versatility, any pro team would be more than happy to have him in their system and the Oilers are no different. The well spoken and articulate Michigan native is a cerebral player and uses his on-ice smarts to his advantage. His strength and size were an obvious advantage at the college level but it remains tgo be seen how effective he will be as a pro when more often than not, his opposition will be his size.
Future
It is expected that the Oilers will sign Rohlfs to an entry level contract. They have until August 15th to do this or Rohlfs will become an unrestricted free agent.
