I doubt the owners care where they are wasting their money on Raymond. Saving 276K by sending Granlund down to keep a scrub like Mason is probably not a huge pressing economic concern.

I agree. The owners are paying Raymond his money no matter where he is. If keeping him up is worse for the big team then there is no advantage monetarily to keep him up.
They have already gave him a chance to showcase himself in hopes that they could somehow get out of that contract, but that ship has sailed.
I would like to think that we are still keeping an eye to the future somewhat and give Granlund some more time to develop in the NHl. Although he has looked like he lost some of his original call up jump I see him making some good plays, and don't think that we are hurting him by playing in the NHL.
I still think that Bollig could be useful but needs a little more playing time to make sure that he doesn't completely rust up. Where as Jooris has been noticeable in a good way most of his games this year.
TLDR Wave Raymond, you are paying him no matter where he is.
