Verhaeghe won't be scratched for what I've seen. Kid's been by far the best players on the ice in the last couple of outings. It definitely is a difficult position for the Lightning Front Office, as both Vokov and Verhaeghe deserve the spot. Verhaeghe has to go through waivers in order to go back to the AHL, so he is most likely to stay up. And, as BriseBois said in an interview "you don't wanna have your prospects watch the game from the press box"
Martel was also scratched for the last 3 games, I think we'll put him on waivers and roll with Verhaeghe, Volkov + Witko until Point comes back. Then we'll re-assigne Volkov to Cuse (after he gets his first NHL taste to get him motivated), keeping Witko as 13th forward.
