You could say the Flames would be going the Oilers route if they were to call-up Poirier now, but I really don't see the harm in it. Don't gift him a spot or sign him to a 6 x 6mil contract, but see where he's at in the NHL level.
Certainly there's areas of his game to work on, but it's hard to measure yourself against NHLers until you get a taste.
Trade deadline will be exciting this year, regardless of where the Flames are in the standings.

The Flames will certainly do this but barring injury, it will happen toward the end of the season. Poirier will see NHL ice time.
