Why are people mentioning Stepan being traded? That's insanity.. Brian Boyle on our 2nd line? Jesus.
Recalled/Assigned: JT Miller and Brandon Mashinter up; Ferriero down (2/18: Mashinter up with Powe out)

I didn't think Boyle would stick as the third line center. Not surprised with Miller getting called up. If he plays well he stays, if he struggles just send him down after a couple of games so you dont burn a year on his contract. If we do send him back down Sather probably needs to trade for a third line center at the deadline.

Quattro!!
Nothing wrong with giving Miller a shot. If he performs he stays, if he doesn't, he gets up to 6 games before he gets sent back down.

The talk is nuts. But I would guess that Stepan would only go in a deal for another center.

You leave Russ out of this ! That Auditing trip is crucial !
Seriously, this(plus the good teammate Rupp trade) seems to me to tell the bottom pairings that if you're not gonna play well this kid is right behind you banging at the door. To me, this is just as much a wake up to the team as it is about having Miller play meaningful minutes.
Kids here to take a look at his future, and vice versa.
I think we need a little more offense from the third line. Boyle would be great on the 4th line.

I think people are looking at it incorrectly.
Rupp was traded for Powe.
Powe was brought in to replace Ferreiro.
Masinter was brought up to replace Rupp.

I hope not. If Asham gets hurt, which is possible, Haley would be a solid replacement on the 4th line. Maybe Palmieri proves he can put it together and passes him on the depth chart. Not sure.

They should send down Bickel and let him get claimed. They should've kept Ferriero. Bickel sucks.
Meh, not surprisingly, Ferreiro's game went downhill after a nice debut. He also made one of the worst line changes you'll see at the NHL level - so, thats that.
Wow, surprising. I thought Ferriero had played very well and added needed speed to the team. Best of luck to JT Miller obviously. At the worst he will get to experience a higher level of play than he's experienced, which is always a good thing to help someone improve. It will be interesting to see how he does.
Seems right to me, I think Halpern and Powe would switch places though, just my guess.

I think that makes the most sense. I just hope to see them both play legit minutes. Not 2-3.

Think Miller is only up for a game or two until Kreider or Cally is back in the lineup.
Good experience for him anyway.
Masher I think may stay longer, hes a decent skater, and has shown plenty of offense for the whale. At this point he is probably a better fighter than Rupp was. He might be in and out of the lineup, but wouldnt surprise me for him to find a permanent home on the bottom 6.

I agree, bit of a head scratcher. He has played well for us.
I am very excited about Miller, but I don't think he is ready yet.
Mashinter I have heard very good things, but I haven't seen him play yet.

yea lets skake the team up right after a good win.... ferriero has one pretty bad game and gets sent down, maybe thats why guys played afraid to make mistakes knowing the leash is so damn short. Id like to see miller for a few games although i personally dont think hes ready yet.
