However, if they make the Schenn and Stanley trades, then I think you recall him and play him every game in the NHL.

Although I don’t think they’ll get them at 27 games which would allow them to retain him as an RFA.

But could make him more of a tradeable asset.

I’d agree with this. This is his first season in a long time to be playing every single game and it’s very important given how many games he’s missed over the previous two seasons.

No point in recalling him if you have no intention of playing him.
