Bollands out for another few months, so Holland should have an NHL roster spot for that whole timeframe unless he completely craps the bed.
After that, assuming everyones healthy, maybe they trade pending UFA Kulemin or Raymond, then shuffle Bolland to the wing (which he can also play).
We will see how Holland looks, he has a 25 game tryout, Trevor Smith looks ahead of him now. The best set of games will be the determining factor. He has potential to be a #3 if he can earn RC's trust defensively. Let's hope he can. Not a spectacular player by any means, but has decent skill and does seem to finish his checks. Hard to judge a game against lowly Buffalo though.
