They told Boyd to get a place but we never heard anything about them telling Nystrom to get a place...The fact is that the Flames are full of spare defensive PK guys, and even now we're putting a 1st line LWer on the PK (Tangs) so Nystrom is sort of the odd man out as far as the people we are allowed to send down to the QC, the QC is also short so it helps out.
I'd say this is a more long-term assignment until injuries or Sutter manages to trade some guys. I don't know why they signed Smith in the first place and Godard does not deserve a 1-one contract, he should have been a body we could've sent to the QC every now and then for these space issues (despite the fact that he's the 2nd fastest skater on the Flames team!!!)
