Im thinking he prob played himself into a legit 1st call up if injuries happenPretty solid all around player, he'll be a key veteran for the Gulls.

Thats fair.Maybe but they do still have 3 or 4 forwards to send down, not including Sennecke.
Of the 18F who remain on the camp roster, you have Sennecke who will be back in junior. 13F who I am pretty confident will be on the roster (in the order in which they appear on the updated roster) - Zegras, Fabbri, Strome, Killorn, Terry, Leason, Lundestrom, McTavish, McGinn, Johnston, Gauthier, Vatrano, Carlsson.
That leaves four guys in limbo - Gaucher, Harkins, Nesterenko and Colangelo remain in camp but without a sure path to a roster spot. They either need an injury to occur or need to force the team to either carry 14 F or make a decision on someone like Johnston/McGinn.
But unless they are looking at deeper factors such as maximizing the likelihood of Meyers clearing waivers, him being sent down first is perhaps a sign that they would give NHL looks to the three younger guys above before him.
I did see more from Meyers than Harkins but maybe the latter has shown more in his actual NHL games.
We like pinching pennies even when we are the 2nd lowest in cap. We are like the now defunct Oakland A's, lol. Except we are even too cheap to invest more in analytics like the Canes.johnston and mcginn are both complete wastes of roster space
so naturally, they'll stay up while meyer doesn't
Is there another enforcer on the current roster I'm not aware of?johnston and mcginn are both complete wastes of roster space

I actually think mcginn could be useful somewhat.johnston and mcginn are both complete wastes of roster space

I agree, McGinn playing with a f***ed up back last season probably affected him a lot. I have hopes he can hit 10 goals again, I actually think McGinn-Lundestrom-Leason could be a productive 4th line.I actually think mcginn could be useful somewhat.
Johnston on the other hand completely useless
Mcginn seems to have a little edge/pest to his gameI agree, McGinn playing with a f***ed up back last season probably affected him a lot. I have hopes he can hit 10 goals again, I actually think McGinn-Lundestrom-Leason could be a productive 4th line.
johnston is a piss poor excuse for an "enforcer"Is there another enforcer on the current roster I'm not aware of?
He's big, slow, and engages in staged bouts.johnston is a piss poor excuse for an "enforcer"
