And 23-year-old, 6'3" Daniil Misyul is in Utica while the Devils toss players like Luke Hughes and Simon Nemec into the NHL before they are ready, why? Doesn't seem to make much sense.
Because Misyul isn't an NHL caliber hockey player, and Luke and Nemec are the 2 best dmen we have?

if you've read the report of the primary Utica observer on the NJ board you'd get the impression that Misyul has some promise but is not yet an NHL caliber defender. He'd play a similar role to Bahl and NJ has too many young defenders in the lineup for now but they really have to develop Luke and Nemec.Ne
Nemec and Luke Hughes have tremendous potential. At this stage in their career however neither are NHL defenseman (let alone the best two defensemen) on the team. Luke Hughes is -20 with the bulk of his points coming on the power play.
In the long-term both players have far greater potential than Misyul. Today they are not better defensemen.
With Luke Hughes on the ice at 5v5, NJD generates 56% of shots, and 54.2% of expected goals.Ne

But yeah, NJD totally would have been better off trotting out:
Misyul-Marino
Bahl-Miller
Hatakka-Desimone
For a significant stretch of the season.

man, I feel angry just seeing the name Brendan Smith.Its in the title "LD Daniil Misyul"
Misyul was held in Utica because LD Brendan Smith filled in for the lone injury at LD.
didn't really notice him much other then that one reverse pass to Siegenthaller that bounced of the back of the net that allowed the Lightning to take the puck.He did ok under the circumstances.
if that's all you noticed in that bad of a game he did ok in my view. He made a number of routine plays. His advanced stats are a bit of a mixed bag, but again, given the game they were fine. It's his first game in an utter disaster of team play. I'm sure he will improve from here although if he's lucky he gets a few more games before Luke and Pesce return.didn't really notice him much other then that one reverse pass to Siegenthaller that bounced of the back of the net that allowed the Lightning to take the puck.
