Athanasiou is staying, for now. With the Griffins playing tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, I guess they need all the bodies they can get.
DeKeyser is out a few, but not long enough for IR. So they need a roster spot to call up a defenseman. Makes sense.
Okay i think i'm getting it now, With AA staying up it's more of a depth factor to help out Grand Rapids i would believe then any thing was just curious why Andersson would be sent down when we didn't need to send him down being short of bodies ourselves.
Saw that a defenseman was called up from Toledo to GR, maybe XO is getting a chance this time?
I think they just want the option to recall another defensemen last minute in case there are issues with DK. By my count we are currently at 23.

What's the consensus on Anderson here? I never really liked the guy myself.
It is, but he was great in the preseason, so the sample size is not so small after all. I think he and obviously Larkin, and Helm for that matter, compensate for the lack of Dmen ability to pass the puck by their speed.Good. AA actually has the 3rd best Points/60 on the team right now although obviously a small sample size. He deserves more opportunity so this is a good sign.
People liked him because he was better than Emmerton. Then he never really improved further while still holding down a roster spot, blocking guys, and people soured on him. once Glendening came up I think Andersson no longer has had a role other than depth forward.

That's exactly it. He's not terrible. But he's the definition of dime a dozen and replaceable. We have Nosek and AA that should be playing over him and that's with injuries to Miller. If the forwards are healthy Andersson shouldn't even be the extra man. He's too slow and to top that off he doesn't provide anything in the way of offense or grit. At least Glendening goes out and hits people and gets under their skin. Andersson is a warm body.People liked him because he was better than Emmerton.
