Fanuck Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 First time call-ups, generally speaking, are great for an organization. Let's the guys on the farm know that there is a chance - however small - that they will be rewarded for their hard work. Let's them know the brass is actually watching. Guys will go that extra mile for their teammates and for themselves if they know there is a chance they'll get a call-up - this is good for the organization. It also keeps those guys that think they're the automatic call-up (Corrado, cough, cough) on their game:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I listened to that interview...not sure who the interviewer was,but I thought he was a bit presumptuous telling Benning what kind of players he needed on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsey Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Nice to have call-ups but it would be nicer to see them play. I was hoping to see Corrado play. Don't really watch AHL games so I was curious as to how he has been developing. I hope this guy plays, don't know much about him but I am interested in seeing our prospects get a little bit of NHL time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Damn, I thought for sure since Benning was scouting Utica personally that he'd call up Sanguinetti. The guy's been awesome at both ends, has a booming shot and shoots R as well. Definitely Utica's best defenseman and probably an upgrade on Weber.Agreed.Wonder if they are calling up Biega to see if he can play comfortably at this level.The AHL pairing success might translate to the NHL level?It would give a third pairing and both Biega and/or Sanguinetti can man the 2nd unit PP.It also frees up existing d men for potential trades.Benning is always working on something.

Canuck Surfer Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 At the very least he'll be no less offensive than a guy like sbisa, and no less defensive than a guy like weber. Could push some vets to play better. Nice summary. Thanx! Damn, I thought for sure since Benning was scouting Utica personally that he'd call up Sanguinetti. The guy's been awesome at both ends, has a booming shot and shoots R as well. Definitely Utica's best defenseman and probably an upgrade on Weber. Is that Sanguinetti may have to clear waivers going down again a factor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Do Sanguinetti and Biega play mostly together on the Comets? They're both righties...Going off the HF boards they line up on the first and second lines."I hope so. Biega is a RH shot, like Weber and Corrado.I'm sure if they were looking at sitting a lefty, they would have brought up Sanguinetti." Steveorama'Utica Comets' would know as he attends the games.They have brought Pedan in and there is a 9 d man log jam about to happen in Utica so I am guessing they are looking at Biega to see what his upside is.

cbdoubleu Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Also gives Corrado those minutes with the Comets while Biega is up. Corrado needs to do something to keep his spot on the depth charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wshdrvvn Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 with the injuries along the blue line in Utica, the pairings Biega and Sanguinetti are on have been: Pedan-Biega LaFranchise-Sanguinetti The D corps in Utica is looking good when healthy this year. Andersson-Sanguinetti Tommernes-Biega Pedan-Corrado Huskins Earhardt Negrin LaFranchise Blain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOHORVAT53 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Guys he was just called up to be used incase someone breaks their leg in warm-up... Or get the dreaded mumps. Otherwise Corrado would still be here if they had plans of playing someone over Weber... Sanguinetti and Andersson would get the call over him as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Man I love seeing guys score their first NHL goals. I hope we see more of that this season. It gets the other players pumped, and I think it reminds them why they love the game so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always seems to happen against us, but I suspect it's just because I watch pretty much only Canucks games and we aren't special in that regard.
