We might see him on the swiss team for the WC as the flames obviously won't make the playoffs.

 

[DCDM]

Yes!

 

[Nordberg]

Guess they couldn't delay this any longer with Grats out for a while. I hope he carries his confidence over and can develop a bit as there's really no pressure for now.

Has he played with Reinhart at all in Abbotsford?

 

[Gritty]

Does this make him ineligible for the Calder next year?

 

[FLAMES666]

Does this make him ineligible for the Calder next year?

No, he will still be eligible

To be eligible for the award, a player cannot have played more than 25 games in any single preceding season nor in six or more games in each of any two preceding seasons in any major professional league. The player must not be older than 26 years before September 15 of the season in which he is eligible.

 

[Svenner]

No, he will still be eligible

Isn't that for a regular season? Shortened season might be different.

 

[MC Ride]

Does this make him ineligible for the Calder next year?

Even if he's not, Mackinnon can still win it for us next year

 

[Leperus Leprechuan]

He's played in 10 games this year and 5 last year. If he stays up for the rest of the season that puts him at 26 overall.

Would that not make him ineligible?

it's 25 in 1 year

 

[Leperus Leprechuan]

it's 25 in 1 year

Okay, Thanks

 

[Mysterio]

Really hope he gets his confidence up now

 

[MarkGio]

He should be exciting to watch again. I wonder if Rienhart is getting demoted then?

Hartley mentioned he had Reinhart penciled in for Monday's game yesterday.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Baertschi and Reinhart both playing. Excellent.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Nice to see The Sven is getting another look. Hope he produces.

 

[Qubax]

Well I think Sven will have a lot more leash and a higher opportunity of earning 15-19 mins a night.

That could be huge for him.

good luck to the guy. i admittedly don't know much about the Flames' prospect pool (although i'm learning because i want to start following the Flames as my second team) but it looks like he's a bright spot for this rebuilding team.

You poor sucker. We can't leave but you shouldn't have to suffer with us.

i respect Iginla that much and you fans seem like a cool lot. very classy from what i've seen.

also, i'm a Pirates fan, so i strongly doubt the Flames could be worse. at least the Flames have had winning seasons in the last decade.

The nice thing about being a Flames fan not from the Calgary area is you can at least never be called a bandwagoner.

[Ana Crusis]

How is he playing so far ? All i see is the minus and it makes it look bad .
