Bollig I was dissapointed.... I was hoping for more. Oh well. Englland, meh - it seems like we have one every year. Shane OBrien last year, Steve Staois, Sarich.....
Agreed on Setoguchi, also he served as an obstacle that the kids had to outplay to stay in the lineup, which is a pretty important thing.

I'm wondering a bit about Bollig. I haven't looked into his usage with the Hawks, but the numbers suggest that he was fairly effective in a fourth line role on a very good team last year. This year he is barely an upgrade from McGrattan. I thought he would bring a bit more to the table.
