While many Sens fans, including myself, would just prefer that Boucher give young players a fair chance to earn a spot, the fact of the matter remains that Boucher doesn't trust young players, and when they get called up, they are given a handful of shifts in the first period, and if they don't make their mark, that's all they get.
Guys get called up and get 6-8 minutes of ice time. It's pointless.
A move like this allows the young guys to stay in the AHL and get meaningful minutes. This Dumont guy can play 4th line or be a healthy scratch. It doesn't matter. So in that light, I guess it's an ok move.
Hopefully the Sens don't use him in top 6 roles though...ugh. They will though.
