Can't say I disagree. Grant given a traditional recall vs. emergency was likely reward for the great AHL season he's having, and they clearly want to see if he can cut it as a winger as like you say, we know what we have in Grant otherwise. Really though I would have given (and I guess they still can) a regular call up to Poirier and play him on top to see if that elusive RW for the top line has been under our noses the entire time.
That all being said, maybe Bollig "tweaks" something during warm up and they have to keep a guy like Poirier around if Johnny is good to go.
