If he is playing with Bouma and Galiardi is it really that bad?
Eventually Stajan, Cammy, and Stempniak will be gone and ice time will open up for him but for the time being there is no issue with him playing on the 4th line.

Agreed... Jackman - whoever - McGrat is a 4th line that you'd play 4-6 min.
Bouma - Colborne - Galiardi is your second 3rd line that can play 12 min + penalty kill.
By good NHL team standards, the Flames have 2 solid 3rd lines, a decent 2ish - 3rd line (a tweener), and an ok 2nd line.
No true first line, and a lot of holes on D.
