Bollig will not be in front of the opposition net because the Flames literally never have possession of the puck long enough with him on the ice to necessitate it. I certainly hope he's never, ever on the ice with Getzlaf or we're fishing the puck out of our net.

There's just no need to exaggerate like this.
Neither of them are particularly useful players but in our bottom six Bollig brings grit and size which is something we lack through the rest of the lineup.
Everything else you mention in Raymond's favour is extremely marginal as the things you claim he excels in come at times few and far between.
Last year in the playoffs, Bollig had two goals if I'm not mistaken where Raymond had none.
I'll vote for Bollig over Raymond and your "12 examples" statement was just hyperbole and unnecessary.
