It's extra weird because Rishaug was the one who asked the question at the pre-game presser where Hitch basically dispelled all of that.
Hitch said he likes him. He's a different player than when he had him there before. Plays on the right side of the puck and fights for space now. He's just trying to do something else with the depth right now.
I think scouts are interested in some of the Oilers players, like Khaira, and could be why he's getting in over Rattie right now. Just a guess.
