Right move, needs to continue to play and develop his pro game. But any injury to the back end, I have him in there ASAP

Pretty much this, it was getting to the point that he was sittong for too long. He'll be back up before he knows it.

Yup - his only problem is that the Jets are pretty much set on the right-side D. You're certainly not going to let any of Buff, Trouba or Myers set in favour of a waiver-eligible rookie. AN injury to any of them though and he is back.

Not really sure why they didn't do this earlier, unless it was partly a reward to him. It'll be good for him to play a lot and be ready for when he's needed.
my guess is they were maximizing his income as a goodwill gesture. I think that is the kind of move that gives the franchise a good reputation among players and agents.

Agreed, he's 24 and will have a shorter career then guys who started earlier than him. Increased payday this year is important. I hope they feed him minutes and all
the top situations!
He'd replace any RD but we did just see Chiarot in 2 games at LD so he's not guaranteed to be that call up.

The team is currently on a California road trip, so he technically does if they want him to get into any games down there.
Agreed. He would have got a signing bonus in April another one in July and then approx $150,000 of NHL salary. All told Poolman has made $340,000 or so by now helping make things a little more comfortable while for him while he develops on the Moose. I still believe he will be an every day player for the Jets by season's end.

Having nothing to do with how good he is, whose job is he going to take?
Jets could trade a RHD but don't you think they like having an injury callup who is actually good? If they decide to trade, then who? Buff is pretty much locked in until July 1 and I doubt they would want to trade him anyway. Can't see them trading Myers until Trouba is signed and maybe not then. That only leaves Trouba. Can't see him being traded until the arbitration scenario plays out.
When/if Trouba is traded Poolman isn't a replacement for a top pair D man. Buff can play that part but not for long. Buff, Myers, Poolman is a weaker right side than what we have now. So the trade return has to include a replacement. Not likely a direct 1:1. Maybe a near NHL ready A+ prospect. That isn't much of an opening for Poolman.
When/if Trouba signs either Myers or Buff could be traded. I'd bet on Myers being easier to move as long as he doesn't have any more serious injury issues in the meantime. So I think that is when Poolman becomes an everyday player. Trouba signs rather than accept arbitration, Myers gets traded, Poolman is in for next season.

What a benefit that he gets to go to California and Texas to play hockey and have a mini vacation.

They should have let him play in a Moose game on the last home stand. Maurice pretty much hinted they'll get him in a game soon.

I think that is the reason the Jets kept him up without playing for so long. Let him collect a couple of NHL pay checks and watch and spend time with the team. Since the right side stayed healthy send him back to get top line minutes with the Moose. The fact that this makes the Moose even better then they already are is a bonus.
