Someone had to go; however, I am surprised that Highmore is staying.

It's clear that Ostapchuk is not ready for NHL level hockey at this time and needs more time to develop in the AHL.

I doubt Reinhardt and Highmore are going to become NHL level talent.
 
Are we sure they were sent down vs papered down trying to save some $

Ostapchuk for sure will be right back up if he was actually sent down

We are still waiting to see if Norris, Pinto, Tkachuk are back and they need bodies
 
Felt there were many moments last game Ostapchuk could have provided energy and grit and some emotion but he’s playing like he’s afraid to take a penalty.

He deserves to be sent down, last night was a game he should of said “I’m going to impact this game whatever it takes”, he needs more Sam Bennett in him

Highmore I think makes the playppf roster, he draws penalties, he can make plays and he’s tenacious, one of my more favorite 4th liners on the team
 
Have to say I'm pretty disappointed that Ostapchuk was up with the big club for over half a season and I don't think I saw him possess the puck for longer than a couple seconds in any game.

Would have liked to see any kind of flash of skill or offensive upside, but there was absolutely nothing shown after 43 games.

He'll play in this league due to his tools and defensive game, but I was definitely hoping he'd have more offense to his game. Looking like a Kastelic replacement at this point.

He seems to have disappeared the past month or so. Prior to that at least he would show some defensive awareness.
