Well it is true in a purely simplistic form (even though I agree with you thoughts on Bollig's last few games). Problem is it's an invalid comparison. Bollig would struggle more than Raymond has, if Bollig was put on the same lines, put in the same situations Raymond has been playing in. Collectively, Raymond can do "more" things better than Bollig can.
But, Raymond cannot play Bollig's 4th line role, as well as Bollig can and has, and the Flames have a number of body's that do what Raymond is meant to do and do it better than Raymond has been of late. The Flames have next to none who can do what Bollig has been doing the past few games.
So, overally it's true Raymond > Bollig in the greater sense of who's a better overall hockey player. But, to fill the specific role the Flames use Bollig in right now, Bollig >>> Raymond.
