I think this is a good move by Peters
1. It prepares Dube if he is sent down, that it is for his development/best interests
2. Alluding to the concussions is a rationalization that take some blame away from Dube, but also gives him clear feedback (get better at making decisions with the puck)
Who they call up depends on how they view the makeup of that 4th line moving forward.
Do they keep Hathaway in with Czarnik - the callup sits/relief duty
Do they rotate Hathaway/Czarnik/the callup depending on matchup - the callup plays occasionally, short term callup
Do they want a guy to come in and lock down that 4LW spot - the callup is worked into the system
For option 1 - may as well call up a guy like Peluso, keep the other guys playing
For option 2 - call up a more veteran player like Quine, Graovac
For option 3 - take a good look at what you want that line to do and work out who deserves a long look - Mangiapane (when fit), Rychel, Lazar, etc.
