Just goes to show Bolduc is nothing more than Salo 2.0 (aka destined for a decent career in some European league).
I'd give Bolduc some more time. As a general proposition you have to do that with big defensemen - they can tend to be later bloomers. Also, between Covid and some injuries and then last year in the press box, he has missed some development and might have some room to grow if given lots of AHL ice time. We'll see though.

Here we were worried about exposing Bolduc to waivers , now indicating his career might be on another continent. He’s got a lot of work to do and is playing where he should be. Let’s hope he can continue to work on what I thought was a good camp and get better.

Bolduc has one assist through the first three games (0-3-0-0) but is second behind Dufour on the team in shots.

Jefferies leads the team with three points despite only playing 2/3 games so far.

he's in a perfect spot , soak up the AHL icetime for an entire season and see where we're at come sept 2025.

The 3-2 loss to Hershey saw the team give up a 2-1 3rd period lead.

Terry was the reason both goals were scored. Granted, Jefferies shot was a goodin'.
The Islanders philosophy for a long time (even dating back prior to the Lamoriello years) is to prepare players for the NHL and disregard winning. Worked with MacLean I guess... 🤷

Sad that MacLean is the only recent example - he's terrible and easily replaceable

Karlstrom 2G Foudy 3A Maggio 3A. This line seems to have chemistry.
I'm pretty sure i have seen Engvall center Dufour and Terry. Doesn't seem to be working so far.
