Opening Night - Bergeron Krug ect injured

Why would they burn a year of studnickas elc to have him sit in the stands?

They wouldn't unless he deserved it. He would be rotating with JFK and Frédéric based on performance until Bergeron comes back. They would need all three young guys for depth. He can play 9 games without burning it. I don't expect Bergeron to be out long but you never know. Can't call him back up once he's in junior.

First, yes you can call him up.
Second, that’s an unbelievably poor way of managing a young player.

We will have to agree to disagree at this point because I don't think they can call him back from junior and if that's the case they might need him at center if Bergeron is having injury issues. If all of that is the case it wouldn't be "unbelievably poor" anything, I'd call it intelligent.

I don't have a copy of the CBA, but I can tell you that any player in the Canadian Junior Leagues cannot be recalled by their NHL team once the NHL season starts. They have to appear on the opening day roster.
Now, if they play more than 9 games, their first year of their entry level contract begins. That's why teams usually give their CHL players a 9-game tryout, and then make a decision on whether to keep the player in the NHL, or to send them back to the CHL for the season. Once they're sent back, they cannot be recalled.
