Granlund is only up because of his injury... he will be in Abby asap.
Jooris is the guy who should have made it over Setoguchi. Baertschi needed to go down as the left side is blocked, at least until Glencross gets traded. Should have invested some NHL playing time in Jooris and let him work with Hartley, it is more beneficial to the team long term than giving ice time to an older washout player in the hope you can get an extra mid round pick at the deadline.
Also and more importantly, all the talk about earning it and spots available told to young players goes right out the window after this - Setoguchi was terrible in camp.
