According to anyone who watched him play, he won't be called up any time soon because his play doesn't merit it.

Vancouver Province article by Jim Jamieson on Kellan Lain and his family.
Chris Tanev V2.0 (Forward Edition)?
Like Chris Tanev he was passed over in minor hockey because he was too small then he had a growth spurt. And like Tanev he played Tier II junior and went the NCAA route.
Unlike Tanev he had to overcome a serious injury - a skate cut to the wrist that could have ended his hockey career.
According to his father Kellan never had a hockey fight until this season in Utica.

It’s probably hard to believe that Kellan — now 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds — was the smallest player on his minor hockey teams growing up, but Jim recalls his son being 5-foot-7 and 125 pounds when he was 15. His first hockey fight was this year with Utica, N.Y., in the American Hockey League.
Kellan was cut from his Greater Toronto Bantam team and from his second year Midget team. He then played a year of high school hockey.
“Even when he was a kid and he was small and getting pounded on by other players, I just said, bide your time, you’re going to be the big guy one day. My wife is 5-foot-11, our daughter is 6-foot-1, our other son is 6-foot-4, my dad was 6-4, so there’s lots of height there,†said Jim.
But even after he’d started to grow, Kellan faced another daunting hurdle — overcoming a serious injury when a goaltender’s skate slashed deeply into his left wrist during an Ontario junior league game late in the 2008-09 season.
...
Kellan had a severed Ulnar artery, but worse, the skate blade had also sliced through his Ulnar nerve and several tendons.
The surgeon said it would take 12 months, but he was back playing nine months later. He was scheduled to begin a scholarship at Lake Superior State the next fall, but they agreed to defer it a year.

Well, if I were to say one thing about Lain for that matter would be that the Canucks should IMMEDIATELY follow the Yankees long standing policy when it comes to personal grooming.

A few people were curious, in the Calgary game, why Calgary put Westgarth at centre, when Blair Jones was out there, and is a natural centre.
Go back a few months, and it might be clear why Jones didn't want to face off against Lain, when the intent was to fight.

WTF are you talking about? This isn't baseball. Kid looks like a hockey player.
Look at them sideburns! He looks like a girl. Now, Henrik Sedin, there's a haircut you could set your watch to.
Uh, actually, the kid doesn't look like a hockey player, he looks like David Booth.

That was great. If only Lain was on the team a few years back to fight the car that took out Sauve.

That for some strange reason a lot of old people are intent on enforcing some sort of stupid conformity when it comes to personal grooming/dress

How many World Championships have the Yankees have won?
Exactly.
re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logos_and_uniforms_of_the_New_York_Yankees
Here's an example:
Before:
After:
Now if we are actually going to talk about "dumb" ideas, the Canucks tried to copy the "12th Man" idea from NFL football teams like the Seahawks (which is wildly successful) with their ill-fated "7th man" variation:
Seriously, if the Canucks were going to, uh, copy another idea from a successful sports franchise, why not this one?
It's one that's literally fubar proof.
The Canucks could be the NHL's version of the Yankees with a proper dress protocol.
How good would that be?
As Christian Bale once famously stated, “Are you professional or not?!?!”
Exactly.
