One started this year (poorly) and the other starts next year (ouch). Back on topic, unfortunately, their options are limited from an asset management perspective. So, barring any trades, Stenberg will need to go back. It will be a shame if he's still playing like he is. As some start to return though, I would move Buch down and try to get guys going.

Next injured players returning (Snuggs/Kyrou):
Berggren- Thomas - Snuggs
Neighbours - Schenn - Stenberg
Buch - Dvorsky - Kyrou
Toro - Suter - Joseph
Extra: Sunny, Fabbri

Holloway Returns:
Holloway- Thomas - Kyrou
Neighbours - Schenn - Berggren
Buch - Dvorsky - Snuggs
Toro - Suter - Joseph
Extra: Sunny, Fabbri
AHL: Stenberg sent down
So you’re keeping Sunny Torpo two guys who don’t move the needle and are blocking roster spots to send down Stenberg who can use experience at this level. Ok

Not what I would do, but I’m a fan, not the GM. They aren’t moving someone mid-season for a lesser return than they might get closer to the TDL, just to keep up a guy that would bring back up right after they make a move or if other injuries occur. Have you no not watched this GM operate over the years? If it were me, I’d dump Buch, Fowler, Sunny and Bjug faster than your head would spin. And WHEN the right offer comes, I’d thank Faulk for his time here and maximize his return.
