By the time he's ready to come back and play they will know a lot better if they are playoff bound or lottery selecting in the draft.
To me I think they are terrified to bench him due to the negative flack they are going to take especially when Iginla fails to score even 10 goals this year.
All of the hockey analysts that were watching the practice said they saw nothing at all. He skated off the ice fine.

I can't believe you seriously believe this. I mean, really? The Flames (or maybe the Owners...ooohhhhhhh, not the big bad owners!) told Sven to go out in practice, fake an injury and lie to the media just so they can send him down to the AHL for two weeks? Get a grip, the team doesn't give a crap about what any of us think - not that that is a bad thing, it is their money and jobs on the line.
Winning games is the only thing that really matters, and the guys that paid lots of money to make that decision make that decision. Not a bunch of guys on CP, or reporters. If sending Sven to the AHL helps the team win, they do it. If playing him helps them win, they do it. Good grief.
