As for Bollig has has a role on this team and until someone else can step into that role (hint: it won't be Byron or Shore), he is going absolutely nowhere. He may not play every night, but he is an important player when we play teams like LA and Anaheim.

Important in what way, exactly? Are the Kings going to be on the worst behavior and not say thank you when he's not on the ice? Bollig stops nothing from happening. Regehr had no problem trying to break Hudler's ribs with Bollig on the bench.
The flames are a worse hockey team by virtually every metric with him on they ice and bumping other options off the roster. That role you speak of is unnecessary now. We've got better players.
