Next step is to waive Sbisa and bring in Toews.
I understand the need to give young players playing time so you'd rather a 20 year old get time in the AHL as opposed to being the 7th Dman in the NHL. But Toews is 24 and has had more than 1 full season in the A. If you bring him up here and let him play every 3rd/4th game to start, he's getting a different kind of experience, even if its not every day. And if he played tonight and did well, you give him a second chance. And if he continues to play well, he stays in the lineup. Who sits? I dunno....depends on who isn't holding up their end of the bargain. For now, its Pelech. If Hickey shits the bed, its him. But at some point, when the guy is forcing his way into the lineup, you need to bring him up and at least give him a shot.
