McCormick is on a two way this season, and a one way next season, he signed that contract knowing he'd be playing most of his games, this season, in Belleville. Next Season he'll play more games in Ottawa, and Dumont, who is on a one way contract this Season and a two way next season, will play the bulk of his games in Belleville, if he's still with the organization.
The Coach is always going to put the players, in the line up (for any given game) that he believes will give the Senators the best chance to win the game ........ that is his job, and would not ask the GM to call up someone up, from Belleville, just to prevent his morale from going too low, and sit a Healthy NHLer, on a one way contract.
If a Coach puts players in the line up that the fans want him to, then very soon he'll be sitting with the fans.
