If anything, they'd bring Milroy up again because he'd fill the defensive hole that lacks without Bonk. <BR/><BR/>As for Chipchura, he'd doing pretty good in the AHL actually. For a guy who's likely to be a very good third line center (that's why the Habs drafted him), he's putting up a fair bit of points. It's only his first full season with Hamilton, so no one is really expecting him to make the jump this season.<BR/><BR/>Montreal has been notorious for being extra patient with their prospects over the past few years. Thus, guys like Plekanec and Higgins spent a lot of time in the AHL before hitting the NHL. Latendresse has really been the only guy since (I think) Ribeiro to make the jump as a teen. Montreal really wanted a big-body presence, so that helped in their decision to keep Lats around. <BR/><BR/>Also, I don't know that the Habs want to keep their younger players out of the AHL too long since Hamilton is destined for a playoff spot. The experience would be great for guys like Grabovsky, Chipchura, and Halak if the Bulldogs can go far in the playoffs with their help. Of course, if Montreal does make the playoffs, keeping Kosty up here to play in them would be just as good for him.Matthew Macaskillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06362199217362511432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600406388399941785.post-82861971859443489792007-03-15T16:58:00.000-04:002007-03-15T16:58:00.000-04:00Hey Matt!Great to have you aboard!Anyway just a qu...Hey Matt!<BR/><BR/>Great to have you aboard!<BR/><BR/>Anyway just a quick note: Do you think the Habs should call up Mikhail Grabovski now that Bonk and Kovalev are out.<BR/><BR/>Could be nice to try him out now since it looks like Chipchura is sadly failing...Bleu, Blanc et Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106339760805230270noreply@blogger.com
