I was wondering why, hopefully once he gets going they bring him up again. nuff with this falk and prosser crap. we do need help at defense more than I thought we did

Scandella was sent where he belongs at this point. He's woefully incompetent at this level in most all phases of his game. If he was showing something, anything, to hang his hat on he'd find a way into a defensive line-up that definitely has it's shortcomings. But that's the problem, he doesn't do anything particularly well at this stage in his development.
Stoner's been pretty well awful the last few games after starting great. With Stoner, however, he brings a physical, in your face element with him every night. And for a defensive corps like this one, it's a needed aspect.
Prosser and Falk are both markedly better defensemen right now than Scandella. And for some of the unwarranted praise thrown around towards the latter from time to time, it should be telling.

When Nate Prosser plays over you, it's probably time to take a step back and re-evaluate where the guy is currently at. Everything I've ever said about the kid (I realize it's still feasible he can "develop") has pretty much played out. He's just not a top 4 guy; now or down the line, IMO.

I don't disagree that Scandella has been poor lately but to say hes been worse then Falk and Prosser is going too far. Hes being sent down because he doesn't have to clear waivers.

And because every other defenseman on roster is playing over him currently. Can't forget that part, I guess.

I kind wish I could see your monologue if Scandella was on that left point last night, instead of Stoner.

This year, none of Stoner, Falk, Prosser, or Scandella have been consistently good or bad. All of them have been up and down. Of those four, Scandella is the only one who can be sent up or down without waivers. Wild have eight defensemen, it just makes sense.
If Scandella's going to be an NHL'er at all, he needs to play a lot of minutes and stay healthy. I'd rather he gets 25 minutes a game in Houston than sit in the press box or play 10 minutes in the NHL.

Never have thought much of Scandella. Don't know how so many Wild fans were thinking he'd be a future top 4 d-man.

Seconded. Never thought he'd be a top pairing guy, but would like to see if he can develop with more time in Houston.
