Such a pet peeve of mine how quickly so many fans simply decide based on nothing or at least no relevant comparables that some player down on the farm could not only easily replace their NHL equivalent but best them despite not having seen them play a single shift of NHL action. It's simply not possible for most of us on here to know jack unless we've seen the player play some games in the NHL.

Absolutely fair comment. At 26 they have to do something with Wolf pretty quick though. Probably lock him up for a while as an RFA, continue get some good feedback from Huska, bring him up on an injury at some point, or else evaluate him heavily next year at camp.
Bollig has been pretty OK the last few games, though I'd like a bit more facewash from him. I'd like to see a goal too.
