I know there's a bug going around, but I believe Bichsel got the call-up this time because Nill wants to see what he has going into the deadline.
Bichsel looks like a positive contributer already, that's a very cheap upgrade we just added for no assets, now we have more space and more assets to go after a forward and a defenseman.
I love Granlund, but he is very similar to Duchene & Stankoven, Giroux might be a Joe replacement, getting Robertson and Hintz back to their prime would be a huge plus. Nelson would be fine as well, can play on any line in any situation. Andersson is the only D I want (Maybe Provorov?), but Petry will be available, and Nill has supposedly liked him in the past.
Might be a fun deadline.
