As opposed to what? 25mins/gm? #1 power play? 

Not sure this is about the Östlund call-up or not, but if it is, then as opposed to playing with less skilled players. It’s about putting him in the best position possible to showcase his playmaking skills with more highly skilled players than Lafferty and Malenstyn. It’s great that he can show his defensive game which he’s also good at, but it would be nice to see linemates who can actually take advantage of his playmaking. They should have done that with Rosen as well.

I like seeing the call-ups before they reserve tee off times.

Welp. This team is so damned predictable. 

Lindy is a "u gotta earn it" type of coach

This is just a late season look see. Not unusual for teams to do this. Evaluate exactly where his progress is. I think it likely he needs another year in Rochester.
