Hutton joined practice but was a extra along with Pedan.

They are both not expected to play tomorrow.


Looks like this management group still hasn't learnt a thing yet. Same **** that stunted corrados growth they are doing to Pedan. This is how you stagnate someone's development.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Lets do this for the babies

 

[PG Canuck]

No NHL career for you Pedan!

How long has Pedan been sitting out for?

It's not even close to what Corrado went through last year. Probably best to tone it down a tad chicken little.

No it isn't. Pedan has been called up for two games, and his paycheck more than triples for it. You want to see actual stunted development? Toronto has left Corrado scratched for 20+ games. That's when you are actually hindering a player, not two.

If it's anyone's development that we're hindering, it's Virtanen.

 

[Peen]

If it's anyone's development that we're hindering, it's Virtanen.

They're not hindering his development. He just isn't good enough now, but he's not going to improve playing in the dub. Keep him til the 40 game mark and send him down.

 

[Drop the Sopel]

Yup, Kyle Dubas and Mike Babcock look like complete buffoons the way they're ruining Frank Corrado's career.

What complete and utter incompetence on their part.

How is it the fault of the assistant gm for a player sitting out.

Lu is the gm in Toronto not dubas

So it's okay to just not play our prospects?

Why not put him in Utica instead of giving him 0 game action. He hasn't played in a week!

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

So it's okay to just not play our prospects?

Because we're giving him a chance to train and practice with professional NHL players-- his eventual peers. Considering the AHL often goes with minimal games a week, he's not missing much. In fact, as I said before, a call up means his paycheck balloons from a few thousand at most to $10,000+. We're effectively rewarding him even if he doesn't play. Would I like to see him play over Weber? Sure, but it's not that big a deal.

 

[Huggy]

Why does it even matter.

For all we know they gave him a week to rest. Why is every decison an inquisition.

A real reward would be to play him.

Right now he isn't learning much.

 

[PG Canuck]

Meh, I don't see a big deal. If Pedan is still sitting there 2 weeks from now, then I think we can have a problem with it. Biega/Fedun weren't up here that long, doubt Pedan is too.

 

[lousy]

That doesn't make the current situation not a "real" reward for him either.

Like has been said, he probably isn't missing much game time back in utica and is given the opportunity to experience what life is like in an nhl setting, practicing with the team, plus a nice paycheque. That is a great learning experience, and a real reward as well.

 

[Zombotron]

The Great Question of HFVancouver

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Would like to see Pedan get at least one game during this callup. Just play a simple, straightforward game, take the body when the opportunity allows, clear the crease, protect the goalie, and make the safe plays.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

I wish we'd play Biega and Pedan instead of Bartkowski and Weber.

you know what's a greater learning experience?

Actually playing him in games.

It's not even close to what Corrado went through last year. Probably best to tone it down a tad chicken little.

He's missed two in Vancouver. The Comets have played three. Tomorrow will be three for Vancouver. Tuesday would be 4.

The more eyeopening factor here is that Pedan is the third Comets' D-man to get a call-up. Not one game has been played by any of them. Yet the forward call-ups each got a game. The forwards didn't have to be put into the lineup any more than the D call-ups. They had ample players to use while the call-up sat in the press box. Yet, they all got a game while a Canuck sat out. What is the difference between a forward and a D-man?

I read that the games played by the forwards helped Willie to see who might be the guy he'd most select if he had to use a Comet in game situations. Wouldn't the same prove useful with the defensemen? The logic at the least is twisted.

I think he knows who he'd use - Biega in a defensive, playing, call-up. Saw that last year when he was playing Biega over Sanguinetti. Still do not understand the early call up, if they're going to sit in the press box may as well just call them up on the day between games. Only thing that would change that is if there was a b2b.

 

[rypper]

I wish we'd play Biega and Pedan instead of Bartkowski and Weber.

I want this so bad.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I wish we'd play Biega and Pedan instead of Bartkowski and Weber.

I think the idea is they don't want Utica to have a train wreck season by calling up every good defenseman. This also places undue pressure on Hutton, who now has to work with rookies. That said, waive Weber and hope he clears. Maybe he'll look somewhat component in the AHL instead of a chimp on skates.
