If we were fighting for a playoff spot it would make more sense to bring up the ever-reliable AHL All-Star Dryden Hunt.. but we're 32nd, the team is playing a bleak style of hockey and we've recently lost Parekh/Honzek to IR.
IMO it's common sense to play the kids like Kerins/Stromgren right now. This is the best season to find out what we have in these guys before yet another wave of new prospects join the org this summer and they get pushed down or off the depth chart.
I know it's a relatively minor roster move but for real, what are we doing here? 2 games and done for Kerins? Talk about a short leashe. Can't wait to watch Dryden frickin Hunt tonight. What are we expecting to learn from watching Hunt? Dude is a great AHL player but doesn't move the needle offensively at the NHL level. I just don't get the logic when you can use these roster moves to see what you have in drafted guys like Kerins/Stromgren.
