It should be to take Peluso out of the lineup. Hopefully.
I would love to see him play, but I would bet it's just to have an extra forward around for the upcoming road trip. The Jets won't go on the road with just 12 forwards.
Good news. Armia is a complementary type player that will benefit from playing with better players. Can't wait to see how he does.
Or maybe we're about to lose another player in a trade ?
Maybe Armia is being showcased to be included in a potential trade.

Should the Jets have their morning skate going as we speak? Any info of who's Armia training with?
GTD tweet noted he was an extra FWD this morning. Will be in the pressbox for the game tonight.

Uh oh, cue the outrage.
I'm fine with it.
Lame!! Lol
Not totally unexpected though.
Chevy's probably forcing Maurice to play Peluso.
It's his first day w/ the club, so not unexpected. What I'm really hoping for (as others have already suggested as well) is that Armia will at least get a go w/ Burmi + Ehlers on the 3rd line and that Scoreburn will be on the 4th w/ Copp + Lowry....
My crystal ball says that Scoreburn's SH GWG last game cements him as a middle 6er in Maurice's mind and Armia will be given the same chance to succeed as Petan was given (not much). Really hope I'm wrong.

That's the right decision.
Maybe we can see the all-Euro line, Armia-Burmistrov-Ehlers?
I'm not saying Pav was ****** great or anything but he was at worst slightly below average and I'd rather have that then Hutch (who hasn't been close to reliable this year) and two promising (but completely untested) backups.
I've always thought he was if nothing else consistent (and sometimes capable of great games).
Obviously am excited to see Hellebuyck and Armia but hope Pav gets better soon.
He played pretty well on the weekend. Good move to get him practicing with the team already.
So, why is he called up?
