Should have been Goldobin. I'm not sure what the point is of keeping him down there, he's proved he can score at the AHL level. Need to start getting him some actual NHL experience or we threw a great player in Hansen away for nothing (which I suspect we did but still holding out a shred of hope we end up with something from that trade).

Nothing wrong with this, since our forwards' two-way ability is one of the team's many weaknesses. Chaput is defensively sound and forechecks well.

Honestly fine with this. Chaput can play 4th line mins if needed + PK, and I'd rather have him sitting in the pressbox over Goldy. Let Goldobin keep playing well in Utica, and reward him with a top9+PP opportunity when he's called up. No need to get crazy here (unless Chaput plays >10mins in a game :D )

This is beyond stupid what was the point of trading Hansen for Goldy if we aint gonna be playing Goldy when he clearly deserves the chance. Seriously Chaput does anyone remember the 2016-17 season??? :rant:

Why call up Goldobin when one of him, Virtanen or Boeser are going to be sitting in the press box? Calling up Chaput alleviates the jam at forward while allowing all three of them to continue getting regular ice time, one of them albeit at the AHL level, it's better than NHL press box duty.

Meh.

I like Chaput and think he's a good 4th liner. So can understand the callup. However, when you look at the lineup as a whole in the bigger picture, what actually needed to happen was Dorsett being shifted to the 4th line and Goldobin called up and inserted on a scoring line.

given the veteran logjam in utica it is fairly logical for them to call up a veteran status ahl guy to ride the pine here.

now if they dress chaput in favour of virtanen or boeser, i think the sky may actually fall in here.

It's like the organization sits around and tries to think of different new ways to aggravate its fanbase and then acts on all of them.

We need a center if Sutter is sick....all positions are not interchangeable.

So we need a center, I bet Sutter being sick and Eriksson getting his bell wrung last game both factor into this, and most likely we will he will be on the bottom line to replace one of them, while Boeser/Virtanen move up in the line up.

As per the fire Green comment in the OP, he might have a say in the matter, but he doesn't actually make the final call, right?
