People have made some good points here about his fourth line role and associated ice time, those factors have to be considered. Bollig is getting less than 9 minutes a night and often benched for big stretches of third periods - and that's when he isn't scratched. Is that situation really more beneficial to one of our younger prospects to be in instead of Bollig? Most likely not.
Bollig, Setoguchi, Engelland, and Diaz are here because Trelviing needed more time to assess the players and prospects in the organization and what kind of roles and responsibilities they could handle. They're all in roles better suited for vets as opposed to player development.
