gm Bryan Murray announces that Erik Karlsson assigned to Binghamtom (AHL

Wow, pretty pissed off about this one.

Wow is all I can say. Is this because he is the only one that they can send down now that Kuba is coming back and Carkner has signed a 1-way?

Yes it is everywhere now.

I guess we don't lose a year of his eligibility, does a playoff game count though? i.e. could he spend the year in Bingo and come back for the playoffs?

Bust.

Carkner is on a two-way for the remainder of this year but he brings an element we don't have.

Well, Campoli better play lights out because he's the one who truly doesnt deserve to be there. Him and Shannon have a lot to prove if they stay in the lineup.

Shocked about this, but I guess the two way contract and ELC is what made the difference. He wont be back in Ottawa this year, garenteed.

Clouston better make the playoffs now because this move was about the now, not the future.

I'm not really upset about this, I'm just surprised is all. I think being in Bingo for a little bit will help with his confidence. He could use some time there to put everything together.

I wouldnt keep Karlsson over Carkner at this point for that reason, 2 way or not. Campoli is the guy that has to prove his worth now because that's who they opened up the spot for.

Like I said, it's playoff or bust now for this team and thats the minumum expectation Sens fans should have for this team.

This will be good for his maturation as a player. He hasn't shown any poise at all for someone who is supposed to be full of it. Gain your confidence back in bingo kid.

You wont see him again this year, Brian Lee will be the kid coming up if there is a recall.

Showboating?

He needs some time to run Bingo's PP and boost his confidence a little. From what I saw in Ottawa, I saw glimpses of a special player, but he's nowhere near being ready yet. Nowhere near IMO. If this helps him to get to that place where we need him to be sooner, then I'm all for it.

I'm definitely not upset or mad. Murray and co. are as high on this guy as they've ever been, they just want to ensure he gets the correct amount of development.
