Like you'd have to think most teams have multiple meetings per WEEK discussing major decisions like this leading up to them. "Okay, he's playing well enough, we need to burn the year and keep him up" or "after closely monitoring this we NEED to send him down before the 40 game mark or risk losing a whole year of RFA".
How the hell did this go in Edmonton? "Hey, so Jesse's coming up on 40 games, eh?" "So?" "Well, I think I read something about some sort of importance on 40 games on our fan message board". "Those guys are idiots, they're not professionals, keep him up.....and BTW if he sucks on Sunday, send him down".
Head scratching decision.
