I've never seen it done more than we've done it this year. Recall somebody from Utica just to have them eat beef dip in the press box.
What's our organizations obsession with this?

Why does our management recall players just to sit them in the pressbox?
Because they are incompetent and stupid.
I don't think the players mind, they probably appreciate getting an NHL paycheque.
Because water is wet and this isn't a unique thing to the Canucks organization. Literally every team does the same thing.
that's not a good reason. all the other kids are doing the senseless thing, too!Because water is wet and this isn't a unique thing to the Canucks organization. Literally every team does the same thing.

So you would prefer if the Canucks kept 12 forwards, 6 defencemen, and 2 goalies on the roster? And play a man short if there's a game day injury?
I think it's idiotic that they aren't more interested in seeing Pedan/Grenier play BEFORE they're eligible for waivers. Wouldn't that make sense? It's not like it would make the team perform much worse than they currently are.
Our brain trust (a term I use incredibly loosely) are stuck 20-30 years in the past and hold romantic notions of what it takes to be a hockey player.
WD's love toward veteransI think people would prefer that the kids being called up see some game action. Why not get an extended look at Pedan/Grenier/Gaunce rather than having them sit in the pressbox in favour of Bartkowski, Weber, Dorsett, Cracknell, etc.?
Nothing wrong with having young players sit and collect an NHL paycheque for a few days if the lineup is too difficult to crack, but I wouldn't say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" really applies here.

*unless it's Linden Vey, in which case he will be played on the power play and over more interesting prospects like Grenier.

Sitting in the pressbox makes one a better hockey player?
