Gotta be honest ... I don't like the call-up ... unless Benning is banged up and liable to miss a game or two. We need a leftie, not a rightie, to replace K-Bomb. And Bouchard needs to be playing, not sitting in the pressbox.
On the other hand, perhaps this is mostly so Bouchard can experience the pace of NHL practices and get a taste of the atmosphere of intense in-season games and playoff races.
But I'd rather see him continue to marinate in California.

I think you don't bring him up simply to sit him - the team should be planning to deploy him at some point here. With Klefbom out, there's an opportunity to see him step in on the powerplay - which is supposed to be his specialty. Play him low minutes on the third pairing, and then first PP unit and see how he does. Hopefully he can put up a few points and honestly, as dangerous as the PP unit has been this year, I would love to see how a right hand shooter could change things. Chiasson's the only right shot getting regular time with the first unit, and he's more the net front guy. I'd love to see that one-timer play added to the mix.
