I was surprised they didn't play Milne in the Chicago game. The whole team looked really tired and could have used an infusion of energy.

The podcasters lead me to believe that Milne was brought up to send a message to under-performing bottom sixers *cough* Trenin *cough* that there's hungry AHL'rs who would kill for the chance to prove to Hynzy they can play that bottom six role.

I'll maintain my theory that he was brought up as the extra forward with the "break glass in case of emergency" title. He was there just in case someone got the sniffles or worse. You have to carry the extra forward on the road just in case. 

But, this 3/4 was possibly one of the physically worst we've done. Usually that 3/4 is SJ, Ana, LA, but to have to fly back to Chicago instead, the team was exhausted and it was very evident that they played that way for 2 periods and a bit. A set of fresh legs could have helped, as the "fresh legs" of Merrill did pretty much nothing.
