You never know what you'll get with call ups.  However, if he has the speed or tenacity to keep up with Lauko, Khusnutdinov can stay back and defend well.  Jones or Shore need to feel like they impact the ice while they have the chance.  The Wild brought them in because Letteri, Lucchini, and others didn't.

One would think that Ben Jones might be more likely to be put into the lineup of the 2 callups. Shore is probably more likely to hit someone, but also seems to be more likely to have a lower goals for %.

The 30-year old Shore doesn't have a prolific scoring history, and I don't imagine him having the offensive upside that a 25-year old Ben Jones might have.

Why does that Game Thread not show up on the main page for me?

I can use the link in this article to get to it, but cannot see it when going to HockeyWilderness.com

 

...okay, I see now that it's under Forums and not News. That's a little tricky!

Someone tell the HW overlords that they’re missing out on opportunity to sell more pop up ads if they post a game thread.  Lots of page refresh going on.

Any way you look at it, having Ek back in the lineup is an upgrade from Shore or Jones in the lineup. I have to differ from Bekki's perspective, success in Iowa does not necessarily translate to the N. Lettieri and Lucchini were proof of that. 

I'm sure Shore is being rewarded for good play in Iowa, was brought along as the extra forward and gets 3 nice gamechecks from the big Wild as a thank you. Sure, it's nice to play, but those gamechecks help a lot too. Ask Mikey Milne about them!
