2) We are in agreement, that even Sven our lord and saviour still ages? If he's not aging and infact immortal then we are not wasting his NHL career by letting him to return to Portland - I apologize. On a team that spends to cap every year, a team that pays J-bo 6.68M/ Stajan 3.5M / Comeau 2.5/ etc etc, why would I care if someones eligibilty comes 1 year sooner? lol? If your telling me as I think you are, that he, by staying up now (when we need him more than ever) is going to cost us 1 whole season sooner, a whopping 3,4,5 million more than he would make, where is my cheque book??
Seriously guys?? if the drawback is paying him real money 1 year earlier than projected, but were getting this kind of performance from him down the stretch and hopefully into the post-season... I dont know where your heads are, truly.
The only thing going to waste is talent that would be better served playing in the big league vs. tearing up a boys league.
Shame on you CP, so easily apologetic to players like CT, like Backs etc. that havent shown a thing in a flames jersey, but when real talent appears (nm actually backs it up with important goals in important games) you discount it and instead pretend to worry about the "overall state of this franchise"...Iggy and Kipper are real and there here now...this maybe their final hours, this is when you pull out the stops.

WTF don't you understand about this???? The only reason the NHL allows him to be here is on an injury emergency basis. The second enough injured players come back he
MUST go back to Portland.
If Portland's season ends early and Calgary's end late then and only then it's allowable for him to come back, but since he would be contract 51 that would
not be allowed. These are all rules. The ELC debate is strictly theoretical.
Please give it a rest
