My fear is that guys like Ferland, Hanowski, Arnold, Knight, Van Brabant, Agostino, Jooris, etc..., will miss out on important NHL experience and development time in favour of Bollig, a player with no upside and might not even be around when the rebuild starts to bear fruit.

How much older is Bollig than the bolded names above? 3? 4?
I wouldn't worry about Bollig "stealing" a spot from these guys..... they're ok but I wouldn't its a big deal if they have to compete with Bollig.
