Hasn't happened. Hell, given McGrattan managed 4g 4a last year, I'm not sure Bollig hasn't made us a bit worse. It was worth a shot though, and while I think the team intended Bollig to be the succession plan for McGrattan, it seems that plan may involve Bollig eating popcorn more often than not.

I think the Flames were taken in a bit by the 13/14 season. Bollig certainly didn't have any kind of indication he could play in the other two years with Chicago (18 and 25 games, no points). Pretty mediocre AHL numbers too.
