While Imama won't be up for long, looks like Pickering won't be back for a little bit. Get ready for more Ryan Graves:
“It’s our responsibility to make sure that we make the best decisions for Pick and his overall growth and development,” Sullivan said before Saturday’s game in Seattle. “He played very well for us for a period of time. His game has not been trending in the trajectory that he had been on for a number of games now.”
He added: “It’s not anything unusual when you look at a 20-year-old defenseman that is trying to find their way in this league. ... We’re ecstatic with where he’s at and where he’s come from. And we’re excited about where his game could go moving forward.”
