Alan-NottsUK: I think it’s just to get Omark some actual game time, he’s not going to get into the team while they’re hot and there is no point him just sitting in the press box game after game

It also has to do with the 60 game clause. In a few games they would not be able to send him down without clearing waivers, which he would not. Agreed though, the kid needs to play somewhere for now until some more clarity appears on the shaping of the team. This road trip will likely show the mettle of the team and perhaps the reality of where some players are really at, good, bad or otherwise.

Renney said about a week ago that he wanted to get Omark into the lineup and that he needed to be in the lineup. A winning record makes all scratches wait, so off to OKC he goes, for now. Also when Hemsky comes back, there will need to be some more room. Lots of bodies in the top nine and some of those are already in OKC.

He just started practicing if I’m not mistaken.. and we’re talking no-contact. He’s travelling with the team on the road trip though (which is painfully long), which likely means he’ll get in eventually during the trip. But it could be a while yet.

Steve-O: In other news, Teubert is called up and Omark is sent back down…although it should be noted that Omark has a Europe escape clause in his contract so he could possibly leave the team and go back to Europe (as per Ryan Rishaug on twitter)

Making room for Hemmer perhaps, or just in the dog house?
