Wasn't the situation with Jooris similar last season? Made the team out of camp, but was sent down for contract reasons until management could make room for him. After Seto proved impossible to make a deal for, he was sent down and Jooris recalled.
Just because Granlund looks like he made the team doesn't mean he'll be on the opening night roster. This doesn't however fly in the face of "always earned, never given." If Raymond is still terrible 15 or so games into the season, and Granlund is still in Stockton you'll have a case for that.
