It depends if they want to keep him up. Can't play him unless we keep him up for the rest of the year.

I'm guessing there are going to send him to juniors after this road trip. He may or may not see a 5th game.

And trying to get as much evaluation time in practice that they can. I don't have a problem with it.

So does he have to be returned immediately after the 5th game, or is can he still practice with the team as long as he doesn't actually play?

Pretty sure he can practice as long as he doesn't suit up for a game. He should get a look tomorrow, seeing as he is the only other option at forward. Then Id assume he will get sent back, unless he really impresses. Wouldn't mind at least trying him between Ryan and Selanne.
I have no problem with sending him back to Plymouth if he can't force his way in through practice. I also have no problem building him up for that final game. I just hope they finally make up their minds sometime soon. I do have a major problem with shoehorning him into our lineup because Smith-Pelly wasn't ready. We have players down in Norfolk that warrant a look if that's where we're heading.

I didn't, but I'm starting to. He's got to be playing a full season somewhere. Just practicing, even with the NHL, is not good enough for his development.

I know you follow the Admirals much closer than the majority of us. Who in your opinion warrants a look?
I still think Maroon deserves a short look.
If we're going to convert a defensive center to RW, I'd like to try doing it with Wagner. He throws big hits, and has easily been the best defensive player in Norfolk. Kid likes to fight, too. Has offensive upside.
I also like Bodie, Rosehill, or Kurtz if we go goon - say if Staubitz is suspended. Less so with Rosehill, seeing as he was even less of a player than Staubitz was back when he was with the Leafs. I haven't seen P3L play, yet, so I have no idea if he'd be a better option. I'll watch tonight's game.

Maroon for offense he was a final cut and its sink or swim time for him nothing more to prove at the ahl level. Also has chemistry with several players especially KP
Also PL3 for obvious reasons

Only enforcers take penalties

Make sure when Koivu or Lydman take a penalty you post about it

The difference is that Koivu and Lydman both bring something valuable to the team. Koivu brings skill, defense, point production, leadership. Lydman brings solid own zone defense, decent puck moving, good penalty killing. Not sure what Staubitz brings of value other than the occasional hit. He also tends to get into fights with heavyweights - and gets his ass kicked. And to top that off he takes more stupid penalties then the average hockey player
