Although, I would have preferred them to draft a guy with a better ceiling than Gautier. With Bolland, Mac, and Colbourne on the roster, we could have opted to go with a potential top 6 guy.

I like the Bolland acquisition vs. overpaying Bozak.
Bolland is that center that we needed who can play against big physical forwards. I was getting sick of seeing our roster get run they ran into a team or line that didn't play transition hockey.
It's going in a great direction. Here's what acquiring Bolland allows:
1. It allows Grabovski to become a scoring forward again. He was bottlenecked into being a shut down center last year, and that went poorly. He's much better when used offensively. Bolland can take those shut down responsibilities.
2. It takes some of the weight off of McClement. Gives us 3 very dependable PKers up front: McClement, Bolland, Kulemin. Carlyle likes Bolland for a reason.
This whole boom/bust prospect thing is becoming ridiculously overrated.

He is a potential top 6 guy
