Sports Forecaster 2007 said:no one logged more ice time than Rozsival did last year. Thrown out there in all situations, he improved in every aspect of the game. He was more consistent, avoided injury, produced more offense and made great strides in his defensive work. His +35 was tops in the league. It appears all he needed was a comfort zone.
Sports Forecaster 2008 said:would not be a #1 on many teams, but he wears that hat pretty well with the Rangers. Led the club in ice time again and plays in all situations. Should continue to thrive under a heavy workload...
Sports Forecaster 2009 said:one of the more underrated defenders in the game, Rozsival plays in all critical situations and does everything asked of a top-pairing defenseman. Cracked the top 30 in ice time, points and blocked shots, all while mentoring rookie Marc Staal. Big Czech is quite durable, missing only 4 games since the lockout.
Sports Forecaster 2012 said:points went down, but the hits and blocked shots skyrocketed, showing he can adapt to any system.
