He's just coming back from an injury, it's a conditioning stint

I’ve been trying to figure it out too. He just came back from an injury. Idk if he re-aggravated it during the last game and wasn’t going to play anyways so needed a roster spot. My biggest confusion is that Kase could be put on IR retroactively and this would be his 3rd game missed so would still be able to be activated for Friday if healthy. Guhle didn’t need waivers so that was a big part of it tho.

Also Mahura’s stats were from last year. He’s got 3 assists and is a +2 tonight.

Showcasing a young LD for a couple games for a potential trade, or even just internally to see what they both got?

We have two d-men that can be sent down without waivers and Larsson has been playing better. The coaching staff probably saw swapping him for Mahura would be an upgrade and one game in it looks like they're right. We have just so little offensive ability on the back end right now outside of Fowler that it made sense to make such a move. I hope Mahura runs with it.
