do you want to do what’s best for this year’s devils team? or do what’s best for smith and the organization long term? i like shiny new toys too but it’s not smart
Why is not playing him where he earns not best for Smith and long term? No one has advocated for keeping him if he isn't capable of playing a regular part of the team.

We can't have Gryba and Greene on this team. Literally players with 0 offense.
Add in that they spend about 65% or more of their ice time being trapped in the defensive zone because they can't get out of it. They're a bunch of defensemen that Lou loves (current Greene, younger Greene was really good) to have around. As evidenced by his signing of Luca Sbisa today and going into the 10-11 season with all three of Salvador, White and Volchenkov on the roster. Which didn't happen in the regular season because Salvador missed the entirety of it.

If his skills warrent a look in the nhl you do it, if not they wont and send him down. They dont promote players just to promote them bc it looks good or for fans approval.
