In summary:

The Flames CANNOT keep him up longer than 9 games, in the regular season / playoffs combined, no matter what, due to already having 50 contracts

The Flames MUST send him back to junior as soon as one more forward returns from injury, due to emergency callup rules.

The Flames would be completely stupid to keep him up for more then 9 games at this point anyway, because you would waste a year of his ELC, for what could be a few games at the end of the season.

Most Importantly, if Sven plays a max of 5 games now in the regular season, he can join the Flames after winning the Memorial Cup and help the Flames sweep the Penguins in the Stanley Cup Finals.
