Rangers Demote JT, Bring Back Asham

The Rangers acted foolishly today when they sent down JT Miller yet again and called up Aaron Asham.   Calling up Asham is fine, but the corresponding move for that should have been sending down Pouliot or Pyatt as both have been awful, and aren't as physical as JT already is.    Asham will be another offensive non-entity, putting  our current number at 3 among the forwards, which is actually 4 since Boyle is in the tank.  Of the four who won't score, only Asham will play physically.  The other 3 just take up ice time, because AV is married to rolling 4 lines.    Thus, keeping a player with upside, like Miller, up and waiving one of Pouiot/Pyatt/Boyle and even Dom Moore, was the way to go.   What they did today was throw a cotton ball at one problem (toughness) and expanded another problem (ineffective forwards).    Where does it say that bad older players are supposed to get all the leeway?   It's ponderous.
