It's not the worst to have Pelletier practicing with the big club, learning the NHL lifestyle and getting a bit of rest from game action either. I'd rather have him jumping into a significant top 9 role than subbing in for Duehr or Ruzicka, but it is hard to make a change to those top lines when the team has been going pretty well too.
He's probably happy to make some NHL coin the meantime as well.
