Confirmed by Ben Leeson. Call me crazy but I'm excited to see how this changes the dynamic of the team.

He was supposed to be here last Friday

Well Well, credit to Musty in coming back, he made the right move. Chances he will get moved at trade deadline.

Musty is almost certainly back for the following reasons. The Sharks told his agent that he better smarten up, and so he can play at the World Jr's. Hopefully he is here to work and be a team player, as this is the new culture of the team and he can definitely be a massive asset with the right attitude. He put the team in a terrible position by doing this publicly, it didn't work out the way he planned, so now he's back. I don't give props to Papineau much, but he deserves it here for sticking to his guns and hopefully we can get a huge haul closer to the deadline. Musty deserves no credit.

I don't know what to make of all this. In fact more importantly what do the players think of it. Its not like Musty was sitting out for a new contract where he wants millions like professional players.

I think he would have had to speak to the players. It's one thing for the organization to welcome him back, another for the players to. Lest we forget when Muzzin flipped the puck at tkachuk and none of his teammates went to his defence.

Not sure why he has been out the last couples games, but there is basically no chance he would be coming back to Sudbury as an overage player. Could be wrong, but I can't think of too many times a player has been sent from AHL back to junior outside of Kip Brennan, but that was 25 years ago. What a team that was, by the way. Still hold a grudge against Peter Budaj!

Vancouver did it with Josh Bloom last season and he ending up scoring the GWG in the Memorial Cup final. Granted Goyette is a far more talented player but it has and does happen somewhat regularly. There was another big name come back like that a couple years ago.

Musty playing for the wolves at this point would probably be the worst case for all concerned. The wolves are not being at all truthful saying Musty is welcome back.

Every loss going forward will be blamed on him by certain posters in this thread, I know that much.

Which makes not honoring his request even more of a dick move. If all the parties involved know that Musty is being traded at some point, why can't they move him now? Is the GM so bad at his job that he can't get some quality 07's plus picks? Musty's whole point is that he just wants to move onto the final phase of his junior career without having this lame duck session for 2 months. It's really not that outlandish of a request.
