It was a weird year for our buddy Oskar—just when he was looking like he would be able to put together a solid preseason and earn himself a place on the roster out of camp, he was benched before being sent down to play with the Phantoms. Then a slow start in Lehigh Valley had us a little worried. Then that was over and he was an AHL All Star, and we were left wondering how much longer it would be before we finally saw him at the next level.
The answer to that would turn out to be February 19th, when he officially received the call up to the NHL.
