Extremely odd. PDG has been great. Raty has been, by his own admittance, terrible. Brisebois deserves it.

There's the reasonable explanation for why PDG down. Brisebois up to take OEL spot on roster.
Just unsure why Raty gets the call up.
No. Play the worst roster possible and reap rewards for it laterThe previous regime used to rush their new toys into top roles in the club and stubbornly keep them in while demoting guys that were performing well. It really stunk.
Really hope it's a brief stint and Raty is promptly sent down if he sucks.
Almost certainly what the thinking is. Maybe Pod will see more minutes as a result.I'm guessing that the feedback from Tocchet is that he's overplaying the top 2 lines because Dries/Studnicka/Aman are unplayable? So they're trying basically the only other healthy C they have in the organization? And hoping it jumpstarts Raty at the same time?

Di Giuseppe is UFA.Could read a lot into this move. On the surface looks like maybe a tank move. Di Guiseppe has been good, maybe too good while Raty has been pretty mediocre in Abbotsford. Has not looked ready at all to move up to the NHL. Could be there are some bonus considerations, although not likely. Or maybe don't want to expose Di Guiseppe too much, making this RFA easier to keep with the organization
