You may be right but he also is likely recalled right after the trade deadline in this scenario don't you think?
If 100% healthy I still don't think after the trade deadline we have Roslovic up. From the preseason forward my thoughts were to have all of Connor-Petan-Roslovic playing on the Moose & to wait until the playoffs to insert them into the lineup. This way ice time is maximized for everyone.
Pasts seasons have shown us the Jets proclivity for injuries. It was logical that all three as well as Poolman, Lemieux & Lipon would still get NHL playtime albeit sporadically throughout the season. As it happened Hendricks got injured in the preseason which kept Petan on the opening day roster & injuries have kept a revolving door going.
As for the trade deadline some of us may need a refresher on any rule changes since the last CBA. Pretty sure I do.
Aren't teams still limited to a 23 man roster? For the remainder of the regular season following the trade deadline, I had read a few seasons during our last playoff appearance that "only four players may be recalled". Is that meant to be in total or does that suggest a 27 man roster?
Emergency recall rules still apply & players may also be recalled once the AHL club has finished its season.
Finally for playoffs, teams may recall an unlimited number of players, but this is limited to only three recalled players on the active roster at once. However if the team recalled four players following the trade deadline, then it can keep four on the active roster for the remainder of the playoffs.
I certainly don't see the need for 7 players to be watching from the press box. If only four may be recalled in total, I'd suggest it be better for them to all be playing, particularly since the players in question are all prospects. They can be called up as needed. Keeps players in game shape as well as dangles a carrot to the entire Moose roster, rewarding quality play in the AHL with a call to the show.
