Also, yeah, yeah, Bollig was traded for a 3rd. The guy who Chicago picked? Matheson Iacopelli, some guy with underwhelming stats in the USHL. Bollig scored a big playoff goal in Game 3 against the Ducks. Call me if Matheson Iacopelli ever does that.

I get that Bollig was by-and-large useless, but he actually contributed to this team's success.
Who Chicago drafted in the 3rd round is irrelevant. What's relevant is who the Flames would've drafted, but we won't know because it was traded away for a guy who not only can't crack the line-up, but also caused Byron to be waived. Had Treliving not traded for Bollig (or had someone in him warming a spot in the Flames line-up), the Flames wouldn't have waived Byron.
