Both call ups are on an emergency basis and Bachman was loaned to OKC so there aren't any roster changes. This is just to get two guys their first career NHL games before the end of the season.

Probably to see Brossoit in NHL games (I assume he'll play both), plus after losing his brother Bachman might want to be back with his family. Who knows, but it will be interesting to see what each bring.

Bachman's wife is giving birth soon.
Excited to see Brossoit, he's been impressive for OKC this season. Will also be interesting to see Hamilton. He's got good size and is a solid player at the AHL level, but I don't think he's any real standout qualities that will make him stick in the NHL.

Wouldn't there have to be a roster change if they're on an emergency basis..one down and two up?

Oilers have had a lot of emergency call-ups... what are the latest 2 injuries to make way for these 2 call ups?

Bachman is still defacto starter in OKC right?
Give them back their guy in time for playoff push and take a look at Brossoit in garbage time.

I'm also inclined to think they want Bachman down there gelling with the team for a playoff run and hopefully kickstart them out of the slump (1 win in the last 10 games).
All kinds of angles that could have played into this move and with San Jose eliminated, there isn't even the Spoiler angle to play for tomorrow. Saturday may also mean nothing as Canucks have already clinched and may very well already have home ice clinched as well by puck drop.

Not sure if it's related, but Hendricks isn't on the ice today and Stauffer made it sound like he'll be unlikely to be playing tomorrow. Maybe that's how Hamilton will get in tomorrow's game?
EDIT: Listening to Nelson's presser, he states that Hendricks is "very doubtful" for tomorrow's game, which was his rationale for putting Hamilton in.

They are loaning Bachman to the AHL team from the NHL team, and calling up Brossoit as the emergency replacement. It's looks to be a, short term, work around for the limited call ups.

Goes to show you can't write off prospects too early. I didn't even think we should resign Hamilton, but he's taken a big step in his development.

Better than his previous 3 disappointment of years, sure. His numbers were inflated to a real good start of the season when he was on a line with Williams when Williams was hot and leading the league in scoring. He's looked more like Curtis Hamilton we know as season goes on imo., I was hoping being an AHL vet of 4 years he would be more steady and consistent. He is just hardly noticeable except a couple solid plays on the pk from time to time as the season has progressed.
Maybe it was his obligatory season injury (poor kid has bad injury luck) that slowed down his momentum, but if you go off more than just looking at stat sheet the Jones brothers and Winquist have all 3 become more effective players than Curtis as the season wears on, but that's just my opinion.

this is just the oilers way of getting suckers like us to watch the last 2 games. lets be honest no one was going to watch but if Broissot is playing i'll probs tune in. hes going to get 2 SO's and we will have him pencilled in for the starter next year. one less thing Mac T has to worry about
But imagine all the time he's gonna spend drawing the posters for Broissoits Vezina campaign?

Once Brossoit plays his first game, it means that every pick in the 2011 draft by the Calgary Flames has played an NHL game
