That being said (in response to what you said below), I doubt that the front office would be foolish enough to allow one incident to turn them against him. But one incident that we know about doesn't necessarily happen in a vacuum. We don't see all the things they see, and apparently it was WBS personnel telling Rutherford that Pouliot wasn't ready for a call up. I don't completely trust the FO not to have outdated or shitty ideas about young players earning their place/being put in their place, but given that there's been no shortage of young WBS guys who have gotten opportunities this season, I don't give Pouliot the full benefit of the doubt either.
