Could ask this about pretty much anything Seattle has done in their existence.

Guess they want him to play 3 games or so there to see how he does before giving him another shot in the NHL for a few more. Can't send him to the AHL directly so the only other place is back to junior and he needs to play. Move buys them at least 3 games.Bender said:

A better question for me might be why is a team allowed to healthy scratch a player and then send him on a conditioning stint in the first place.
This is their way of avoiding sending him to the OHL until he plays that one game against Montreal and then gets sent to the World Juniors

If I remember correctly, they tried banking a couple off Murray in the last game as well.

Network hockey coverage isn't going to draw the line here between the player and the world junior team embroiled in the legal scandal that toppled the Hockey Canada board and its decades of cover ups, is it? Or maybe they are, but how little they're covering this compared to Nylander.

I think this is an interesting development. Both he nor Batherson have released comments on it, and Batherson is currently playing for the team. I'm not sure where this ends up, but the lack of news on the Formenton front feels like he is going to be the one that eventually takes the fall for this. Which may be fair if he was the ring leader.

This is less McDavid being lazy and more Florida being stupidly aggressive (and sloppy) on the PK with 3 attackers against 4 defenders while their lone D-man goes for a change. McDavid reads the development easily and takes full advantage. Hyman gets one of the easiest points he's ever had since Nylander gave him a goal mouth drop pass on a 2-on-1.
