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.

That's easy. Most posters have seen what Bollig brings to the table at an NHL level. Bollig and Wolf have similar attributes to their game but Wolf is still an unknown at the NHL level. To suggest they'd like to swap Bollig for Wolf is to try something new because one isn't working which also allows these same posters to be able to see how he plays. I don't see how this is a pet peeve and it's not a quick decision based on nothing, its 46 games in the season and Bollig has been terrible and still not being a positive factor in most games he's played.
