Earned call up, good on Batherson and management

Agreed but hopefully this doesnt screw with his rhythm sometimes if a guy is hot you just let him play in the AHL and get more and more confidence. If he isnt used in a top 6 role this will be one of the stupider moves by this organization and thats saying something. Kinda like playing Chabot out of position for the system type stupid.

*edit I see he is on the first line thank goodness.

Agreed. I'm hesitant of bringing up Batherson personally but the circumstances dictate it. He should be down most of the year to dominate the AHL which he has been doing.

So ELCs are automatically two-way. I didn't know that, I always figured that you start one way and work your way up to a two way later.

I feel like you're getting slightly mixed up. Why would a player "work up" to a worse salary structure? A player on a two-way contract can make as little as 70k a year (or something around that) whereas a one-way contract guarantees at least 650k per year.
