Just announced on TSN 1040
Does this mean McCann and Virtanen are staying beyond 9 games? I think we would have heard something by now if they weren't planning on activating their ELC's
Why now? We still have 18 healthy skaters.
They did this last year too where AHLers get called up for nothing more than sitting in press box duty.

I second these thoughts.Sucks that Hamhuis is likely out for a while, but I also felt Biega deserved a spot out of camp so I'm happy for him.
I'm also OK with Gaunce coming up over Shinkaruk. It's for a bottom line role, and it's probably a good idea to not mess with the hot start Shinkaruk has had so far. Plus I also felt that Gaunce earned a spot out of camp too, so it's nice to see him get a shot.

They sent Gaunce down because he was waivers exempt.I doubt Gaunce plays. Cracknell has earned his spot on this team and I don't think it would be fair to have Gaunce leapfrog him. They kept Crackenll and sent Gaunce down for a reason. Expect Cracknell to slot in and Gaunce to sit. It will still be good experience for Gaunce to travel with the team though, and he might get a game in.
Good stuff.
Biega probably means Hamhuis' injury is more serious than we think?
Huton / Biega plz
