"We want the young guys playing" aka let's save some cash by sending our scratches down until the next game.

Maybe in June Melnyk will sell the team to a deep pocketed ownership group and we'll win the draft lottery. Dare to dream?

 

[Micklebot]

So White goes from being 2nd in icetime for forwards against the Bruins to being sent down?

I suspect this is just because they're sending anyone they can down for the all star break, but I do hope White comes right back after the weekend.

Man ,that would be so great ...

 

[topshelf15]

I hope they are serious about playing some kids,i wouldnt mind seeing what a 3rd line of Chalpik/JGP/White.Could do ...

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sent down. Belleville plays tonight. Might as well keep them playing. Sens have time off and need to see where they are health wise and they claimed Magnus P off waivers. White showed well while he was here ... I am sure we will see him again this year.

 

[Viletho]

They are obviously sent down to play some game.

These young guys need to play a lot. Especially White.

No. We want young guys playing. Why is that so hard to believe? You are better than this.

 

[2XPRO31]

They want these guys playing plus Belleville has a few injuries of their own to deal with.

 

[Bileur]

Hopefully that’s the last we see if anyone not named White.

 

[solidprospect]

Is this just because we don't play until Tuesday?

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Why keep them up during the break exactly?

They get better by playing.

It is rather annoying to have people question the validity of every move made by looking through this scrooge-prism.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Depends on perspective.

I would imagine some guys on the team will stay in Ottawa and have some informal skates this weekend? After all, they already had the Xmas break and the bye week....no need for yet another vacation...especially when the team has been losing so much lately. I would expect professionals to want to start the second half of the season on a good note and prepared. Having a few of the kids along working with the vets isn't a bad idea....great learning experience.

.....assuming the guys on the team still care and actually want to show some signs of life for the rest of the season.

 

[BonkTastic]

We're sending prospects down to the AHL during an extended break so that they can get some more games in, and maybe win a game or two (because we aren't exactly helping them with that at the NHL level these days) to keep their morale up.

It's fine.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Is this just because we don't play until Tuesday?

One would assume.

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

"We want the young guys playing" aka let's save some cash by sending our scratches down until the next game.

Those who were sent down, played last night, and I assume will tonight AKA let the AHLers and prospects play, rather than have them sit in Ottawa over the All Star weekend doing nothing.

White played better in each game he played, since he was called up. So having him play last night, and tonight in Belleville will serve him and the organization better, than having him sit in the Holiday Inn over this weekend........... don't you think?

Depending on the injury situation, he could meet the team in Carolina if needed.

Yes, like I said, they seem to be sending all the guys they can, likely to both help out Belleville and give the younger players extra ice-time. I might be wrong and White is going down because guys are getting healthy, but if that's the case, I think it's an odd choice given Boucher seems to be putting him in a role ideal for his development

I did hear today (tsn1200) that there are some injury issues in Belleville too, so they may have needed White and the others, for the two games (Fri & Sat).

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

That is an odd way of doing things. If Belleville is having injury issues, logically they'd be calling up whoever is available from their ECHL list of players.

No it's not. Dido and Burgdoerfer are probably staying down there and White should be playing as much hockey as possible. Why would Belleville call up worse players from ECHL while their own guys are sitting around doing nothing in Ottawa?
