Bolduc and and Kyrou have at least one trait in common. They are both dangerous in odd man situations.
That’s not enough if you can swap either for a Logan Mailloux in my opinion.
I agree with you. (Bolduc is gone, so really no point in hand-wringing over how well he is or is not doing.)
But I will amplify about Kyrou re the odd-man situations: It's good I suppose unless the "odd man" number of skaters is because we have pulled our goalie. He really has difficulty controlling, protecting and winning battles for the puck. I am curious if over the past two-plus seasons, is there data that could determine how many percentage change of possession situations resulting in goal against with our goalie pulled were made by Kyrou versus our team's total?
I'll apologize to the OP and others for pivoting away from thread subject as well as it may appear to be just jumping on the bandwagon ...I am not a "Kyrou-hater." In fact I defended his value, based upon his potential game-breaking skating ability and goal scoring potential. I felt he was unfairly criticized because he had no one to keep up with him. So, I've really focused on him for the past couple of months to try to understand better, and the hard push all of the time to compete and complete a play is not there. I'm now not sure if it will ever be in this scene?

I have no stats, but it was Kyrou’s thoughtless blue line turnovers with the game on the line that put Chief right over the edge.
