What's the situation with Nutivaara in CBJ organisation right now? Are call-ups to NHL likely at some point?

For some reason, Carlsson has always came off as an ‘injury prone’ player to me.

According to Porty's article, the club deems him fully healthy. If they planned on keeping him in the AHL to prevent waivers, then that plan is out the door with this recall (needs 2 games). So, we're not going to lose him for nothing.
Does Harrington go on waivers? Or do we put Carlsson to the AHL once he's healthy? or carry 8 D?

Glad to see Nuti recalled. I know some feel Harrington is better; I'm not among them. And unlike the Wild game which saw Torts limit the 6th defenseman to 11+ minutes, I see Torts having the confidence to give Nuti a few more on ice minutes.
Nutivaara > Carlsson > Harrington
The only thing (IMO) Carlsson has over Nutivaara is actual physical size and reach/stick length. Problem is that the dude, at least not yet, hasn't learned to use this size and reach advantage he has on most, to his actual advantage. Quite frankly I think Carlsson could use time in the AHL to work on his skating and get used to the physical play and small ice. I really think the only way Carlsson can prosper in the NHL is if he plays in the mold of a Prout. He needs to focus solely on defense, along with the need to DEVELOP and play with as much of an "edge" as he can. In my opinion, of course.
Nutivaara is just as good or better defensively as Carlsson or Harrington. His vastly superior skating and offensive instincts and ability also seem to mesh much better with Murray, or the 2 other "common" or possible D partners, in Johnson or Werenski, when (not if) Murray moves up a pairing.
I see their future (NHL careers/on CBJ or not) shaking out like this: Gavrikov (def d man) = Nutivaara (off d man) > Carlsson (def d man)
