Brad Treliving on calling up Dennis Hildeby and waiving Ilya Samsonov: “The best place for Dennis is where he was (with the Marlies), but he’s also had a really good start there… Circumstances dictated that we want to do this with Ilya”

Treliving: We know that Ilya has gone through a difficult time. When you go through this, you kind of look at a couple of options, right? You either keep doing what you are doing — which is an option — and try to work through it, or you do something different.

We looked at it, and I felt strongly that we had to do something different to help Ilya. In order to execute this and create the roster spot, we needed to put him on waivers. We are going to take this week to try to use it as a reset.
