Blacker is not on the same level as Costco in the AHL, of course only one of them has any experience in the NHL so we can't compare. Jesse's having a great season with the Marlies though I don't know why people feel the need to piss on his parade here. The kid is next in line to see NHL time. Ranger doesn't want to be in the NHL, Komi was just sent down, Holzer sent down to re-discover his game, Marshall still trying to get his feet wet, Dylan Yeo doesn't deserve a call, Gysbers has been having a bad season and is hurt (I think) and Mo Riles isn't ready yet. Who the f'in else did people expect to be called up?
If a forward spot opens up in the top 9 before the end of this season, I would like to and am pretty sure we would very certainly see Joe Colborne be promoted to the biggs for a few games. The kid has earned a recall.
