The Flames carry 9 defenceman on their roster with 8 of them healthy right now.
Huska has been rotating defencemen the entire season to make sure they all get playing time. Sieloff has been playing the last few games, but was scratched tonight to get Culkin in who has sat for the last 4 games. Ramage played a few games ago, but sitting out now to put Stevenson in.
The "issue" is just simply too many defenceman and being many are rookies and young guys, they are playing on a rotation system. There could be a chance later one might be sent to the ECHL like Kulak just to ensure they get more playing time. The Flames just don't have spots for all the guys we have on defence.
