But you think he should be put on the top 6 anyway? And play 17 minutes against the other team's top 6?
Why do some of you want to put prospects ahead of the team's needs?

Incorrect. I never said I had an issue with Pelletier playing fourth line minutes to start. In fact, I advocated earlier for that in a previous thread. I am questioning if that is truly the plan here or if he is going to "pretend" to give him an audition like he did with Phillips. You can't be expected to earn an NHL role in under 20 minutes of NHL icetime.
