The league in General is moving away from super heavyweight goons and when not punching someone in the face McGrattan was terrible when on the ice. As the team improves and there are less guys for McGrattan to punch out he should be phased out of the line-up. He seems like a good locker room guy and can still be useful for certain games but he should be spending more time in PB than in games.
Bollig sitting doesn't make much sense as he is an effective player and has a wider range of potential opponents out there.
