I have a hunch that I can't confirm that a call up for injury replacement might not count toward the limit.

Only problem about this is doesn't it make Bennett have to permanently be on the Flames or Adirondack? I think we ran out of call ups with this one.

That's what I am saying though. If Wotherspoon is up to replace an injured player (Diaz) maybe that doesn't count toward the limit.

Oh, right. Emergency call up is what you were implying.

I think this was a non-emergency one though.

It was non-emergency. If Bennett is sent down, he can only be called back up for emergency or at the end of Adirondack's season.

Wonder how a Russell-Brodie, Wideman-Wotherspoon, Engelland-Schlemko setup plays on the ice.

I don't really want to slot a prospect into the top-4, but the Flames need mobility and their system suffers when it's not mobile enough because it's built around that concept.

Well the Flames lost their last game, so that's often the time that we see lineup changes. Would love to see Wotherspoon up close.

Not too keen on giving Tyler top 4 minutes right off the bat.

This. I worry about the same thing for Bennett. If Wortherspoon is just going to set then call up Potter or some AHL scrub.
Potter is already up, has been for a long time.

The reason you don't just call up "some AHL scrub" is because of the possibility of injury or illness to another player. If the Flames call up some garbage player and something happens to one of the 6 that will be playing then said garbage player is suddenly playing and the Flames are ****ed. That seems like a brilliant idea.

But I want to see the shiny new toy now! :sarcasm:

Kind of surprised we didn't see Morrison up instead. Not pushing down Wotherspoon, but certainly he should be more developed and ready to play as he is the older prospect.

Morrison cannot be recalled. This year he is on an AHL only contract and his ELC starts July 1st.
