What about UPL? 

Did they send UPL down?

I think they should.

Hmm idk, I could be convinced to either way.

I might send him (and Fitzgerald) down for Wednesday's game, then bring them back up for the Sabres game Monday (if it's played).

The difference is the Sabres haven’t been shutdown because their team has multiple cases. My complaint is teams that have been paused for multiple cases shouldn’t be sending players down.

I wonder how DM and KA feel about Fitzie at this point.  He only played 4 games (12/17, 12/29, 12/30 and 1/1).  He got 16:42 and 18:04 in ice time in the 1st 2 games, but only about 12.5 min per game in the 2nd 2 games.  The Sabres lost 2 of those games in OT and the other 2 in RT.  He was a plus-1 in 1 game, minus-1 in 1 game and flat in the other 2 games. 

I doubt the new analytics group is impressed -- his Corsi and Fenwick percentages were terrible (38% CF, 40% FF%) despite getting over 59% offensive zone starts.

Still, I liked some of what I saw from him.  He can skate, has pretty decent puck skills and an edge.  He did get in trouble in the D-zone a number of times though.

He just doesn't have the size to go with his edgy play. At 25 years old he is what he is. I prefer him to Butcher.
