Joe Morrow called up -- Now sent back down!

[joopen]

again, we can't call up Eaton. he signed an AHL contract with the WBS Pens. We do not own his rights. He is currently a NHL UFA

If needed (really reaching), the parent club could simply sign him to a 2-way deal, correct?

We could, but to list him on our depth chart is incorrect.

Or to think he is actually worthwhile at this point.

why bother with eaton? if you're going to put a guy who isn't nhl caliber into the roster, it might as well be someone who has a future with the organization.

[meow]

Why are we even talking about Eaton? He does not have a contract with Pittsburgh.

[Idoit40fans]

So could someone clarify...is Eaton signed with Pittsburgh? Its not really clear.

[meecrofilm]

Signed a PTO with WBS -- not sure for how many games it's for, but he does not have an NHL deal.

[Idoit40fans]

I was being sarcastic.

[meecrofilm]

Meh -- you can never tell these days, haha

[Dickie Dunn]

Eaton belongs in the ECHL.

It's good news!

[Pitts]

So, no Eaton then?

[Idoit40fans]

I think they're gonna call him up.

[meow]

How is this guy going to help?

[Dickie Dunn]

Probably lay face down on the ice and do nothing productive, just like the other Mark Eaton.
