If Engqvist can play for the Habs, I guess Nattinen can play too...for a little while.
It's not like he would play better with the handful of minutes he is giving him in the last couple of weeks. Many vet players are playing way worse.
With players like Markov and Subban, you don't need a freagin' second PP unit on the back end.
Beaulieu is not NHL ready yet.
Technically we have 7 D. Certainly we would be best served as an organization playing Bealieu in games at the expense of Murray or Cube.
PK, Markov, Gorges, Emelin, Tinordi, Beaulieu, Diaz should be the 7 for thr rest of the season IMHO.
Maybe this is a sign by the organization that finally realize we're playing above our level (thanks to Price) and we should really be focusing on development.
Why wait? Not NHL ready? So?
Guys who are not NHL ready play in the NHL all the time. Many of them learn, become better and become NHL ready. Not everybody becomes "NHL ready" by playing against non-NHLers in the AHL. So actually become NHLers by playing in the NHL. Imagine that.

Beaulieu on the right...
He made his lines while reading his horoscope.
For what its worth, Chantal has him on the left here:

I would had prefer to see Kristo.
Kristo is not a center and it would be a waste of talent to put him on a 4th line. Nattinen is the right guy for that.
And? Maybe sitting next to PK and Markov is what he needs to learn instead of sitting next to career AHLers. If one thing we have are proven NHL (character) vets like Gionta, Plek, Briere etc. who can accelerate player growth.
Besides we're playing somewhat poorly right now. We might lose a few points, but isn't that worth the risk to help develop your top 4 D prospect more quicky? Why are we always playing everything so safe?
I agree Subban and Markov should be playing almost if not the full two minutes on the PP.
I NEVER EVER want to see Boullion there again, Michel Therien drives me nuts!!!!!!!!!!

I do Three bullets.
yeah there clearly just trying to see where they stand with this guy
keeper or loser
this isnt a call up to see if he can make the NHL, this is a call up to see if he stays in the organization next year

Besides his sub-par skating (maybe it's improved) Nattinen always seemed ready-made for a bottom 6 role. His call up makes a ton more sense than bringing up Leblanc simply because there isn't really a spot in the top 6 needed at the moment. I really hope Nattinen shows something interesting tomorrow.
Makes sense but some people just enjoy not taking risks and being a mediocre franchise.
Imagine if we signed Roy as head coach. He's not NHL ready. He's too unpredictable. He's a loose cannon. Yet he's doing a damn good job with a young unproven team.
Teams who don't take risks never win anything.
