What does keeping Hanley on the roster accomplish ?

Hanley is going to be a healthy scratch for the majority of the season. Keeping him on the roster accomplishes the following: allows younger players to play and develop in the AHL rather than sit in the pressbox all season, and to cover for emergencies in a pinch. Hanley is perfect in that role, Pelletier isn't.
Only 19 players are on the ice for any given game, plus a backup goalie, so 20 players in total, even though teams have 23-man rosters. Hanley fills one of the roster spots 21-23.
