Colour me surprised. I totally assumed they would call up Wolanin.
Wolanin is 28 and has passed through waiver 4 times.He has been very average at the AHL level while Wolanin has been a clear standout. I don’t really understand the Wolanin treatment and Hirose obsession based on their play so far.
Hmm. Figured they would try to save more cap room by not calling anyone if they have the spare D right now. Abby not playing til the weekend. If someone got hurt in the Isles game that’s when I would do the call up. Otherwise can get by these 2 games with the remaining 6 D they have.

This post is nonsense. He played like a solid NHL bottom pairing D in the 16 games he played last year.Wolanin is 28 and has passed through waiver 4 times.
He’s simply an ahl star that can’t translate his game to the nhl

He’s been ripping up the AHL for the last few seasons and has played well when called up. What else does he have to do to get a chance?It's one thing to be a fill-in for a handful of games and another to track that consistently over the course of a season.
Not hating on the guy, every team needs tweener players to fill in as needed.

He played when there was basically nothing on the lineThis post is nonsense. He played like a solid NHL bottom pairing D in the 16 games he played last year.

Well so did Hirose then.He played when there was basically nothing on the line
Eh. I feel this management group wants to give Hirose more of an opportunity for two reasons. One, he's a shiny new prospect. Two, it shows other prospective undrafted college players we are willing to give them a shot if they sign here.Wolanin's play translated just fine when he was called up last year, and it translated just fine for Ottawa before his career was derailed for 3 years by shoulder reconstructions.

Yes, but Hirose is more of a prospect than WolaninWell so did Hirose then.
