I don't know if it should be a consideration when making a call up, but if Solovyov (who turns 25 in July) doesn't see an NHL path going forward, he could be tempted to play in the KHL. It's kind of a critical stage of his career when you consider when players peak and earning potential. Poirier and Kuznetsov still have a little more time on their hands.
Also, Solovyov and Poirier have almost the same offensive stats this year on the Wranglers, so might as well bring up the guy who is defensively better.
