Because there wasn't much room? It's not like he was doing something that was forcing his way onto the team. Lots of bodies this year, so even if guys are doing well they could get the short end of the stick too.Now they just need to call up Slepyshev. I have no idea why they sent him down in the first place.
One would think he slides in for Pouliot next game.
Because there wasn't much room?
Or Puljarvi. Be interesting to see what comes out of last night's loss. Have to think between those two guys having big mistakes and the fact the BOS is one of the best FO team's that he'll draw in.
Truthfully what I would like to see come from last night, Puljujarvi to the AHL and Slepyshev back up, and Lander into the line up for Pouliot.
Role with
Lucic - McDavid - Slepyshev
Maroon - Nuge - Draisaitl
Caggiulla - Letestu - Eberle
Hendricks - Lander - Kassian
With the Caveat of swapping Eberle and Slepy if need be
I'm kinda hoping Puljuravi goes down, at the same time I don't know that inserting Slepy is an answer either. He has bad games as well and probably isn't ready for big minutes every night.
I do wonder if they look at adding a vet, so that they don't have to worry too much about whether or not the younger guys will handle it down the stretch. Even if Slepy gets going, who's to say Caggiulla won't faulter? Hendricks is another guy to have some worries about as well.
