I guess we needed to reach the floor, that's about the only justification we had to sign these 2.

When Raymond was signed, camp hadn't even happened. So saying the kids were ready is ignoring the fact that management hadn't seen them other than the previous AHL season and the few times they played NHL games. And none of them had exactly lit it up. So you think Treliving should have known they were "ready"?
Sven proved he wasn't ready when he was called up. Poirier was on the shelf. Granlund was called up asap anyway. Same with Ferland. That's how you work rookies into the lineup - you don't go into training camp with zero options.
