I do not understand why you would demote Ruzicka instead of waiving Ritchie, but ... whatever.

It is a paper transaction to save money right?

I can’t see why they would do this unless they needed a D, and Mackey would play tonight.

Mackey is more than deserving of a call-up. He's been the best Stockton defender all season.

Ruzicka I thought was doing well.

Just cap related I assume. Trying to save as much money as possible. Who else could have gone down?

Actually it's because they couldn't send down Ritchie without having first waived him yesterday ... before they knew they needed space for Mackey.

Yeah plenty of guys need to be waived before sending Ruzicka down but he’ll be back up as soon as someone is

Cool to see Mackey up though, he’s been putting up a good year in the A

Mackey has a bigger cap hit than Ruzicka, so no.

I'm working on the assumption they had to call up a defenseman. Ruzicka going down is to save cap.

They didn't have to send anyone down to being up someone.

Richardson drawing in tonight, then? Would Mackey be able to come in soon enough, or would Stone dress once again.

It’s a timing thing

I don’t think they are seriously worrying about losing Ritchie
