Hes played well I think he will start to get some points too playing with Nelson and eberle

I have a strong feeling 20pts would be a big year for him (in an 82 game season)

I really struggle to understand what exactly anyone saw in him to think he was even a first round pick, let alone a top 5 pick.

Fine in bottom 9. Not good in top 6. Hmmmm....... 9 + 6 = 15

It's really bizarre.

I'm glad I do not follow the draft that closely. FA seasons is aggravating enough.

The draft write up on him that someone posted the other day made him seem like a can’t miss, highly skilled offensive player Sounded like they were describing Jack Eichel or Patrick Kane 😆

I had to look at that report a few times to make sure I was not seeing things.

He was a man among boys during his final year of junior, no?

Maybe he was playing against 5 year olds?

This is like the 89 draft. Islanders drafted Dave Chyzowski and he was going to be the next Bossy.

Pageau: “I’m just trying to be a pain in the ass to play against.”

Hell yeah

Love the guy.. what a perfect fit with this team. Can you imagine if we got Stone too.. the 2 guys that Lou really wanted would have been perfect for this system.

BPT playing Hartford right now, in the 3rd

Another goal from Bolduc: https://twitter.com/theso...tatus/1362129044255350785

and a snipe earlier from Holmstrom: https://twitter.com/theso...tatus/1362117511307698177

edit: and I think Bolduc just scored again. May have been Mooseknuckle cleaning up a Bolduc rebound

He had a terrible first 30 games with Oshawa, only had 8g and 25pts in 30gp but then he got traded to Kingston and put up 27g and 55pts in the next 30gp

I thought Wahlstrom had his best game last night, he played well.

I will also continue to disagree with a lot of people here about Dal Colle. He's clearly not going to create offense ever, but he forechecks really well and does a lot of little things. He doesn't belong in a top-6 role, but I think he is a perfectly fine option for a bottom-6 spot. Especially as some of the fourth line guys start to approach the end of their tenure with the Isles.

I don't mind MDC as a fill in for injuries like a Kuhnackl. Just would rather a Bellows b/c of the offensive upside potential. Thought he played well when he was up here.. MDC is a perfect taxi guy.

Gets worse when u look at who was drafted in that round after him too... https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl2014e.html we had 2 first round picks and took MDC and JHS. smh ...only solace is we took Sorokin in 3rd and some guy namde Devon Toews in 4th.

Another assist for Bolduc on the ENG. 3pt day for him

He will get a look this year if someone gets injured or Mayfield and Leddy start to struggle again. Kid had a great camp and if he keeps this up he deserves to get a look before anyone on the Taxi squad IMO.

I believe that's 2g 3a in 4 games for him. Certainly a nice start

Bolduc wants on the Isles.
