I'd rather have the guy who goes and gets that puck in the first place. I'm glad Bollig was clutch but he still brings less to the table than Byron.

Agreed. Two playoff goals doesn't mitigate the absolute liability Bollig was on the ice during the regular season (that is when he wasn't scratched). Bollig is an extremely replaceable player, even without going outside of the organization. Wolf and Hathaway could immediately replace his ice time, never mind the possibility of upgrading from outside the organization with UFA or trade.
I admit I was open minded about the Bollig signing last summer but after watching the year he had and the year the players around him had, Bollig doesn't cut it.
