it makes a lot of sense
I'm personally getting sick of this call up a skill player and grinder but only play the grinder thing they've got going on too
the gm and coaches obsessions with fringe players that has gone on for some time here doesn't make a lick of sense to me
reward the kid with an nhl game, that's great. but let's get on with addressing the real problem here - skill and finish

I understand that people are upset and I want to see Pelletier play as much as anyone else, but have fans even thought about that maybe he doesn't feel ready yet himself? He has had ONE practice with the team, juggling on the 1st line with Lindy, Toffoli and Dube.
I don't think Sutter wants to throw a rookie out there to fail just because he is not familiar with the game plan yet. Also I do not believe Sutter would say no to a difference maker and as a smart coach, he sees potential in Jakob so he will get a shot at some point
