What does age have to do with it? A bad back is going to limit what you can do for conditioning.

Ohhhh Baby.
Higgins and Lapierre?
The notion that I was responding to is that our GM sits around.
He made attempts to get top 4 dman in Ballard (everyone expected him to be that and it was before we ever locked up Hamhuis) and a top 6 forward in Booth with size and speed.
Hindsight is 20/20. You can ***** all you want in retrospect, but he was making moves to help the team.
It's a conditioning stint for Kass guys. Hasn't played in 8 of last 9 games.
Still want to see this when healthy, and when we get Torres

Raymond-Schroeder-Hansen

^I would go with that.
Lets just go with the young guys full stop, like we have no choice because we almost don't. Other teams do it.
We had a solid enough D and goal tending.

So we're mailing it in this season?

If a guy you have traded for becomes a back surgery candidate, do you want the optics in Vancouver? Let him shuffle along in Chicago. He'll play a few games until after the deadline and then they'll get him some surgery.
Canucks season is done anyway, why not have Jensen up for a few games? He'll be trying to make the team in September.

He missed those 8 games with a back injury. It definitely is not a demotion. Kassian was playing some oh his best hockey when he went down with injury. If it were a demotion, it would have been done a week or two ago, when he was actually playing. You don't "demote" a player after they have been injured for a couple weeks. How can you demote someone when they aren't playing?
What?
When was the last time that he scored a goal? 15 - 20 games ago? Get real. It is a demotion. He's going from the Vancouver Canucks to the Chicago Wolves, and a rookie is coming up to take his spot.
The real test will be to see how he continues, lots of good young players have good first games but cant keep up after.
All he has to do to redeem himself is to admit(he won't) that he made a mistake by acquiring a few players. To redeem as in, buyout or trade those players. If he continues to be too proud of himself, then you'll see those players back on this team next year.

he also missed significant time with a back injury, a conditioning stint would be suiting. It's not a big deal

Man I can't believe all the crying in here. We get to see our top prospect play tomorrow for the first time and every ones doom and gloom. Guys this will be huge for Jensens development, a little taste of the bigs to keep his confidence growing. Love this move, even if he provides little offence while up here. We now have a guy that probably has the best wrist shot on the team playing that will actually shoot the puck. Thank god.

This is desperation, but why not.
Honestly I feel bad for archibald, who has played great in the AHL, yet still won't get the call.
I can see where they're coming from. He's not exactly what we need as we're already playing a whole bunch of bad skaters. If Sestito went down, you would probably see them give Archibald a call.

No doubt in my mind that Jensen will only be up here for a little while and then he'll get sent back down for Kassian. Everybody has been pleading for us to bring up Jensen, and now everyone is criticizing the decision?
Seems to me there's elements of truth to both perspectives - if he had been playing well, he probably doesn't go down for a "conditioning stint".
I'd say it's a safe bet he's played himself into AV's dog house.
Let's see how he responds...

Awesome news to hear Jensen getting the call. However, the Sharks are a pretty good litmus test for the team in general, and they need to bring the heat and lead Jensen by example. It'll be a tough game for a rookie to test the waters in, so I hope he doesn't get too discouraged if he doesn't make much of a splash.

I'm happy to see Sweatt getting a call-up. This is probably his last chance to make an impression on our organization. He's a free agent at the end of the season and if he doesn't do anything with this opportunity I don't see him coming back.
you would think Jensen is some kind of superstar talent by this thread.. we are so desperate lol
It's a terrible time to be called up. He and Sweatt could very well be showcased. If the Canucks were to acquire Clowe, it would cost a Jensen...
No, not at all. Is Ottawa or Edmonton mailing it in ? No. But they are playing young guys.
