Perhaps they see Schenn as a winger in the future, with Giroux and Couturier as our top centers? Maybe that's extrapolating things a bit too much though...

As an aside: Emergency recalls couldn't be issued anyhow due to the lack of necessity based on available personnel. If Lilja was unable to perform, however, those requirements would have been met to promote a d-man (Gustafsson) as the team would have under six healthy bodies. With forwards, the critical number per the CBA is 11/12 for emergency recalls but Shelley is the 12th forward so no need to promote a forward under the emergency recall guideline.
