All I know is, if Sven Baertschi OR Curtis Glencross had no place on this team, then neither does Mason Raymond. I fully agree Raymond is a streaky scorer but there's no need to exercize patience with him when we have a flood of guys deserving of that spot.
I just find it hard based on the eye test to see how Ferland, Granlund, Wolf or Poirier don't deserve that 3rd line wing spot. I'm trying really hard to see it but considering our 4th line (with CP Whipping Boy Brandon Bollig!!!!) has been more effective than our 3rd line for a while now (about since Raymond and Stajan returned)...

Yes, which is why we're frustrated to see Raymond on the PP. He's "given" PP minutes that he does zilch with. At least Sven deserves to be given those PP minutes as he is a better playmaker with space to operate. And I don't think even you would argue Sven isn't a better playmaker than Raymond.
