Canes calling up Brett Sutter...

[KillerKat]

Just called up Brett to take injured Dalpe's spot.

Sutter doesn’t have the offensive numbers that other potential call-ups have. Jon Matsumoto is atop the AHL in points with 9 (3g, 6a). Drayson Bowman and Zach Boychuk both have 4 points. Sutter has yet to find the scoresheeet, but Hurricanes’ management wasn’t necessarily looking for that this time around.

I think they're taking the Sutter love a little too far. Other guys are better, but his last name gets him the spot.

Yeah I don't understand why they would bring him up over Bowman. are they cousins? brothers? I don't remember.

Brett's an older cousin

I like it and heres why. Dalpe on the 4th line? that doesn't make any sense to begin with. A 21 year old scoring threat you put on a 4th line checking role that plays less than 5 minutes a game? If thats all you think of him then he should go back to the AHL until you're ready to put him where he needs to be.

What they've done is call up a 4th line player that can throw his body around and add some toughness and put him on the 4th line where he needs to be. Bowman, Boychuk, Samson, sure those are players more similar to Dalpe but him being on the 4th line is a mistake to begin with, therefore Sutter is the call up.
