Trots did praise the kid for his training camp. He might be closer to the nhl then we think.is this kid really good enough to be a callup this year? i would think that Hutton may be next in line, but he's a righty.
Pelech, Leddy, Greene, Aho, Bolduc. wow, i sure hope so.

I don’t think we will see him to next season either. I’ve never seen the kid play only YouTube highlights so can’t really judge the kid to much. Going from what I read and the coaches praise of the kid it would not surprise me if he makes the team next season.I don't think we see Bolduc until next year, maybe a brief glimpse at the end of the season if the playoffs are clinched. Remember that this is his D+2 season so this is probably accelerated as it gets for a young d-man. While Dobson is an anomaly, breaking in 2 kids on the blue line is not happening.
Bolduc's clock starts next season with a full ELC.
The closest Bolduc will get to the big team this year is a callup to the expanded roster when the AHL season ends if we make the playoffs.I don't think we see Bolduc until next year, maybe a brief glimpse at the end of the season if the playoffs are clinched.

Yeah no sense in rushing him especially since IMO Wotherspoon and MVS have a shot to be depth NHLers this year as well.The closest Bolduc will get to the big team this year is a callup to the expanded roster when the AHL season ends if we make the playoffs.
Very excited about having a prospect like Bolduc in the organization. I am just going to say it, think he is going to be better than Holmstrom or Wilde. He was noticeable on a bad BP team this year, which isn't easy to do for a rookie. A player of length and a rocket for a shot. Wrister or Slapper. That's what I said, wrister, which will be a weapon to get shots through on the point quicker. This upcoming season will be interesting for him. Will he be the 7th D man being groomed for a larger role with the Isles, or will play the entire season in BP. I am really stoked if he becomes the full time partner to Dobson in a few years. Isles would ice Pulock-Pelech and Dobson-Bolduc. This was a tremendous pick for the Isles scouting staff after the thus far underwhelming Holmstrom pick.
Agreed about Pulock, he is a UFA after next season. We need him for a deep playoff run next year. We will have a better idea come TDL to see how the Isles look. I am not expecting a decline. This team's core has proven to be one the best 4 teams in the NHL 2 years running. However, if we do stumble, Pulock would fetch some big assets, he would be a much valued commodity TDL.I hope he's ready to go and we ease him in with a steady guy like Mayfield.
The Isles have lots of decisions and I think more than one are going to surprise people.
Isles have about $5MM to work with.
Lets see what Pelech's deal looks like. Can you picture a Pelech - Dobson pairing? Dobson has the rest of the Summer to add some much-needed man strength. They would make for a good pairing for a while.
Without wanting it, can't you see Pulock getting moved to a team, along with say a contract (Leo?) or two (Hickey?) to open up space to pay Pelech, Casey, Tito and Sorokin? One more year and Ryan's a UFA with weird stats; he's sooo strong though. Wish he could score. I see a fit in the Peg. What would come back if we sent them him and Leo/Hickey or Ebs?
What about one last year of Leddy and Greene - who actually played really well together in the bubble, IIRC. Truly can't see Andy going beyond next year, but can see one more year with a partner he gels well with. Rest him sporadically and have a RHD vet to play with Leds when the time is right.
I’ve said this many times. Nobody knows shit about WHEN we will see Bolduc (or any other prospect). Just because you proclaim something doesn’t make it true.The closest Bolduc will get to the big team this year is a callup to the expanded roster when the AHL season ends if we make the playoffs.
Why are you taking a post from February and creating an out-of-context narrative in July?I’ve said this many times. Nobody knows shit about WHEN we will see Bolduc (or any other prospect). Just because you proclaim something doesn’t make it true.
It’s up to Bolduc and management. If Bolduc has a great camp, he will make it difficult for management to keep him off the team. It’s their decision, Bolduc’s job to make it impossible to cut him, and management’s job to make the right decision.
Odds are, Bolduc won’t be on the season opening roster, but we as fans can only make a statement in writing. Bolduc can make a statement on the ice.
He should stay, don't you dare think about trading him. kids got a great shot and could be a force down the road
