in an inexplicable move this morning, the calgary flames have recalled forward brett sutter from their AHL affiliate, the quad city flames. although it's a bit of a crapshoot deciphering the value of the baby flames, the young sutter seems to be mid-pack across the board, statistically:
GP G A PTS +/- PIM PP SH S S%
28 1 6 7 -4 21 0 0 38 0.026
compared to jamie lundmark, who was returned to the QC following two solid outings against minnesota and chicago:
GP G A PTS +/- PIM PP SH S S%
29 8 23 31 -10 16 5 0 73 0.110
and QC captain, warren peters, who had a taste of NHL action when brandon prust went out with a fractured jaw early in december:
GP G A PTS +/- PIM PP SH S S%
30 8 1 9 -10 35 0 0 48 0.167
i just don't get it.
lundmark and peters (along with greentree and i'll even go so far as to say kris chucko) have superior stats to brett sutter. if it is a matter of cap space --the only reason that holds any semblance of sense to me, then the current calgary flames are in a whole boatload of trouble. it would mean we are promoting guys based on pennies in the grand scheme of things.
or maybe it's just sutter blindly promoting his son....
UPDATE: i figured it out. it's a scheme to get wee brett home for xmas without having to pay for his ticket personally. whew ! and for a second i thought daz was a self-righteous boob !!!!
:P

People who have seen him play claim Sutter works as hard as anyone in hockey.
It's not enough for me, really. The kid is barely keeping his head above water in the AHL (if indeed that's what you can call what he's doing down there). The Flames don't have a lot in terms of forwards on the farm, but how guys like Greentree, Van Der Gulik, or even Chucko don't get a look ahead of Sutter is baffling.
Baffling if you ignore the last name, of course.
my point exactly.
i like your holiday reunion theory.
