Yea I thought he looked more useful than a few of our worst players so hopefully he stays.
I just watched the condensed game, but thought he had a chance to tie the game late in the 3rd. There were a couple of highlights where he was in very good scoring position.A few SOG coming off the LW, two PK rotations, and no memorable brainfarts or looking out of place moments that I recall.
I think he stays. Botts had mentioned we'd see some Roch guys implemented into the roster to help boost the secondary scoring, and CJ can do that while playing a pretty safe pro-level game.Scored a goal, getting chances. Does he stick this time? All star break is coming up, so the tendency will be for Botterill to send the recalls back to the AHL.

It was gonna happen sooner or later just because there isn't enough space for him. This is fine. Give him a taste of the big show and what it feels like to score and make him work harder to get back there.
good I hope traffic on 90 is clear since I'll be at the amerks game tonight...
It was a tough audition in terms of length and opportunity..He finally looked more comfortable right before he got sent down.. Hopefully AN, VO and Bailey get similar chances and the experts see something on film to leave two up that surpass what we have... At least it will light a fire under anyone too comfortable.. I like Mitts but without messing with his head he needs to see three games from up in the booth , maybe give him some perspective, if that doesnt happen after the break..It was gonna happen sooner or later just because there isn't enough space for him. This is fine. Give him a taste of the big show and what it feels like to score and make him work harder to get back there.
Jordan Nolan with rockets attached to his skates but unfortunately also to his handsWhat can anyone possibly see in Elie.
Its shocking he is still 4th among or forwards in pointsThe upside to this recall is seeing they have a workmanlike forward who showed well in limited minutes. It has to put some vertical pressure on the lineup (and judging by Pominville's sudden burst of life could be a thing) and gives Botterill some confidence if he decides to shed some of the usual suspects.
