We currently run out Ehn, Erne and Abdelkader on a regular basis, and yet we have people like you complain about Veleno not earning a call up? Come the **** on.
In a season where the Wings have virtually locked up the first overall pick (odds) in 50 games, who the **** cares if he hasn't earned the call up? It's about his development. Believe it or not, there is a difference between earning a call up and giving a player the exposure to the NHL pace and style of play. We are aware that Zadina only had 8 more points in his first 37 games in the AHL, right? And that Veleno's game has improved as the season has gone on and is generating more as the season has gone on, right? **** it, give him 9 games playing 12 minutes a night to get a taste and get a sense of how much work he needs to put in. Seems to have worked for Zadina...
