So someone has to be getting a call-up now. 22 on the Flames roster and now Glencross down, they will need a body and someone to take up some decent time.
Heat PBP seem to think it will be Knight, Jones or Horak.
I'm going to go with Horak because of the experience and versatility. He can play centre if they want to sit Backlund, he can play wing to outright replace Glenny or Stemps. And I think he would be okay playing 15 minutes a game and special teams, he's getting a ton of time with Abbotsford in all situations. I think Knight's limitation right now is that he is mainly a centre, moulded as one in Abbotsford and so unless the plan is to sit Backlund quite a bit or move him to the wing, he wouldn't be used the way they are developing him.
