But IF we made the playoffs we could start to call up folks again?
If so, I'd say the injury thing being an issue, especially on the forward ranks given the bodies we do have is a minimal risk down the stretch.
From a team and development of Bennett perspective I think I like this move. Don't like the message to the rest of the team that has played lights out all year and currently sits in a playoff spot that the management felt they needed to bring someone else in to help them get it done. It will feel like they don't believe in the group, and at least for the first few games (which is all we have left anyway) not sure Bennett would be a huge upgrade, as I suspect he'll take a few to find his game like JG did at the NHL level. And. For Bennett, I'm not sure I like him having to come in for the most important 4 games of the season with half the fan base labelling him as the saviour (as though this team even needs saving) that will push us over the top and into the playoff promise land. Too much pressure and expectation off the hop for what will hopefully be a long career with the Flames!

No...i mean that he can join Addy but Calgary would still have one callup remaining...however if they wanted him to play one game in Addy THEN call him up, they would be out of them until the season ends at which time they can callup as many as they like.
