What's the point of Chaput then?

 

[Cowumbus]

Soooo beyond excited to see Bjorkstrand play. I'm making the trip up from Athens just to see him.

See what hes got one last time

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Ramage is son of a former #1 overall NHL pick. Dad had a serious off ice issue after his retirement.

Going to have to see my man Bjorkstrand make his debut.

 

[EspenK]

In the one game I saw I liked Ramage.

Hope OB pots one for you Spin.

 

[MAHJ71]

Interested to see Bjorkstrand the most but, I hope all 3 do well.

Rychel probably getting even more frustrated with the FO and Torts

 

[joshjoshjosh]

Bjorkstrand!

Rychel hasn't played for the Monsters since March 5th. Also he had only 1 assist in 3 games after he was sent down.

That's been my question for about a season and a half.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Honestly, who cares. I like him alot as a player but if that (and the other reports) are true about him then he is in the wrong and needs to wait his turn, or break the door down and make it his turn.

I no longer care what he thinks.

Me too, I think this kid can be really good someday.

 

[SuperGenius]

He should probably consider learning to play better.

Good for the kids. I would've liked to see the CBJ use Chaput this year over bringing in a guy like Campbell. He's been a very reasonable 3/4 C in his time up and I like his size.

 

[theD86]

My guess is Chaput is a roster fill-in for Prout.

 

[Fro]

My guess is Chaput is a roster fill-in for Prout.

you mean Ramage, since he's the defenseman?

 

[EspenK]

I seriously doubt we see OB tonight. Maybe Chaput because he has been here before. I think OB would need at least one practice before being inserted into the lineup?

I'd be surprised if they are not both playing, why call them up to sit in the press box

Boll and likely Bourque will sit

 

[DarkandStormy]

Are the forward call-ups related to LEM solidifying their playoff spot? Seems like we've been carrying the minimum 18 skaters for awhile now, and only Prout is out from the previous game.

If nothing else, give them a look for a game or two and get them a little NHL money. If they have a future with the big club, reward them for their hard work in Cleveland.

At this point, wins mean nothing, so give them a look, and give the players a feel for where they need to be to play in the NHL.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

If Bjorkstrand is expected in Columbus next year, better to get the rookie jitters out of the way this year when the games don't really matter.

They could have been doing this the last 3 weeks but have been carrying the roster minimum...seemingly to give Cleveland the best players possible for their playoff push.

 

[5thLiner]

All 3 are playing tonight. If Tyutin is out, that creates a big problem on defense. Hopefully they'll make the call in time to get Falk or Heatherington (probably Falk) down here if that's the case.


EDIT: And there it is
