I always thought, and correct me if I am wrong, that Poirier was a special case. Burke signed Poirier before Jan 1 last year which I thought allowed Poirier's contract to slide this year. If this is the case, wouldn't his contract slide if he played less than 10 games in the NHL this year?

I realize that Poirier can move at will but I was thinking that if his contract status is such that it would slide into next year then maybe the Flames are going to be a bit more cautious in terms of bringing him up unless absolutely necessary.

If his contract doesn't slide, then please disregard my rabble.
