So thats a good reason to not play your best D prospect in a pre season game? The other 5 except for Benoit are also going to the AHL, so shouldn't any of those be a scratch too? It might not matter in the long run but in the short term, it gets you an idea of the coach's thinking.
He has some explaining to do.
No he doesn't lmao you really think he is going to get grilled over scratching Niemla after the game? Just a wild idea. Life will move on.

Unless Niemela is not putting in the work off ice and he is sending a message. Or maybe it is old school tough guy doesn't like small soft euro

Up to Niemela to impress. Not for the organization to pave a clear path for a 3rd rounder to an NHL job.
