Good move imo, may as well get some work in the A if he's just going to be sitting on the shelf up here.

He's on an entry level deal. Couldn't they just send him down without calling it a "conditioning assignment"?
Maybe it's a confidence thing? Not just re-assigning him so it doesn't seem like a "demotion"? Also, he's on a two-way contract - I wonder if we will still be paying him his NHL salary during this stint.

Hopefully he gets a quick shampooing assignment first, otherwise all his work will be for nothing!

It doesn't matter if he's on an entry level deal or not if he's played over a certain number of games in the NHL and AHL, he has to pass through waivers.

Unless CapGeek is wrong, he still has another 11 games to play before he becomes waiver eligible.

Too much vodka?
Kind of sucks for Erixon, though.
Why does everyone feel sorry for Erixon? If he were better, he'd be up here. I don't feel any diffently for him than I do Goloubef or one of the forwards. Competition and depth were something we've coveted for our entire existence as a franchise. I know he did well last year, but this year he's been outperformed. I don't know who you'd realistically take out of the lineup to put him in at this point.
Regarding Tyutin - I was able to talk to him at the CBJ Olympic thing Wednesday night and although he was hoarse he seemed to think he would be ok for Friday - "I've had much worse" he said. I guess we'll see.

I know, but considering Erixon was "first call up" for most of the season to date, Tyutin gets sick right as Prout is sent down for conditioning making Erixon essentially the second call up.
Feel sorry for Erixon? I've posted my thoughts on Erixon in horrific detail. I think the issue is just as much Richards as it is Erixon. I'm questioning Richards. I want the best team on the ice any given night; I don't really care who the pieces are. When I see questionable things I call them out.
I've seen nothing this season that suggests Erixon should have been buried like he has. At this point, it doesn't matter all that much. We're winning and the wonder twins aren't sucking ATM.
Have you seen enough of him to believe he should be playing ahead of someone now on the blue line? Who would you replace?
I presume one of the "wonder twins" would be high on your list. Who are they and should Erixon play over one or both of them?
I'm just asking for your opinion and clarification of your post.
