Totally hypothetical (I hope), could Jackman be ready to go but the Flames are saying he's injured? Not sure how that is documented.

The league does investigate injuries. For example when Warrener was on LTIR way back he would have to constantly be reviewed by league medical staff to make sure that the flames were not hiding him on LTIR for cap space. Not exactly the same scenario but it would be foolish to think the nhl would turn a blind eye to clubs hiding players on IR to circumvent the the 50 contract rule.
