How does Neato slot in the lineup back in Worcester?
Timing makes no sense...Worcester plays one game (the day after Thanksgiving) in the next 11 days.
Well, obviously top six...guessing a bit:
Nieto-Kearns-DaSilva
Schwartz-Hamilton-Hayes
I think they were making sure Burns was OK before making the move.
Cool. Thanks.
off topic, but Schwartz - Hamilton - Stalberg would be a pretty funny line. All Bros.
I'm hoping it's that, because reading DP's tweeting without that context ("#SJSharks reassigned Matt Nieto to WOR to get him some game action.") means that no one bothered to look at a pocket schedule for Worcester.
It's just the standard response instead of stating what it really is. Cap savings.

San Jose just used some of that savings to recall Matt Pelech..
OK, I was accepting of Nieto going down if a little disappointing, but why bring Pelech back up when we have Brown?

3 games in 4 nights coming up, it's an extra body (I hope).
I'm too lazy to look, but Nieto has to be making more than Pelech. So if you need bodies "just in case" I guess it makes sense to go with the cheaper guy.
Pelech
$105,000 / $577,500
Neito
$70,000 / $692,500

Still really doesn't make a lot of sense:
Hertl - Thornton - Burns
Marleau - Couture - Wingels
Kennedy - Pavelski - Havlat
Sheppard - Desjardins - Brown
McCarthy
Plus we have Irwin sitting on the shelf. We don't need Pelech, we don't need anyone. If someone goes down, unless it's Brown, I wouldn't want Pelech in the line-up over McCarthy, and I wouldn't want him in the line-up over Irwin. Why bother calling him if you are not planning to play him and already have a spare player...
As a reward for Pelech, maybe one of the 4th liners is banged up (I don't think Desi was a "healthy" scratch), maybe they want his size instead of Brown, maybe they want an extra body for practice.
