With Scuderi out, someone will be recalled. My vote is Dumoulin, and here's why:
Aside from just performance, because they have all been pretty good, Despres has had the experience of being in the NHL and knowing what it takes. Considering Dumo will probably be a big part of our near and hopefully long-term future on the blue-line, I'd like to give him the opportunity to get a taste of what it's like to play in the NHL.
Now, if Scuderi ends up being out for excessively long and Dumo doesn't play particularly great (even though I think he is ready to make an impact), even calling him up for a couple of weeks, and then sending him down in exchange for Despres would still provide Dumo with that experience.
Who would you guys, especially those who have watched a lot of WBS, call up if Scuderi is out for at least the next few games?
